Events

In addition to the bi-annual, internal Centre meetings, the Olsen CFP team organized two international symposia addressing various topical ‘Fetal Programming’ issues. Both symposia took place in Novo Nordic Foundation’s Auditorium in Copenhagen, with a little more than 100 participants each time.

The first symposium was held on 13 March 2013 and titled “Fetal and childhood programming: Preventing type 2 diabetes in the next generations”. It was co-organized with the FP7 EU ‘EarlyNutrition’ Consortium, in which Olsen was partner.
