Welcome
For over twenty years, PhD candidates of the Division of Human Nutrition at Wageningen University have been organising international study tours. Previous years, PhD students from our division went on study tours to Germany and Switzerland (1991), United Kingdom (1993), United States (1995, 2007 and 2015), Scandinavia (1997), South Africa (1999), Germany, Switzerland and Italy (2001), Australia (2003 and 2013), UK and Ireland (2005), Scandinavia (2009) and South West USA and Mexico (2011).
In 2017 the 14th study tour will take place, and this time we are taking our students back to the UK.
This PhD tour aims to exchange scientific knowledge and stimulate innovative research collaborations in the field of human nutrition. For this purpose we will organize symposia and workshops at excellent research institutes, governmental health organisations and R&D departments of food companies.
We are part of the Graduate School VLAG. Advanced education is an important part of the scientific training they stand for. Apart from attending courses and congresses this international study tour is organized every other year to contribute to our scientific training.
We are looking forward to an inspiring and educative trip.
