“Feeding the planet, energy for life” is the core theme of Expo Milan 2015, which will be attended by Institutions, organizations, enterprises, operators and citizens from all over the world. In line with this thematic framework, the European Union will organize and promote a large number of meetings and debates on food, agriculture and nutrition.

In particular, a cycle of events will focus on the role of scientific research and innovation on how to feed a growing global population sustainably with limited natural resources, representing one of the greatest challenges of our time. This cycle will officially start on May 8^th, with the high level International Conference “Towards a Research Agenda for Global Food and Nutrition Security” followed by the EU Scientific Steering Committee for Expo.

It will set in motion a process, by the end of which we will have a set of widely consulted recommendations to provide to decision makers on future priorities for research, development and innovation in the food and agricultural sector. The Conference will seek to involve important international actors from politics, the scientific community, industry, and civil society in a dynamic and forthright discussion on the challenges facing global food and nutrition security.

Registration platform and organization are managed by Pomilio Blumm.
