CONTENT CAPTURE

In the permanent ambition to support the Clinical Nutrition community with the best available information, ESPEN is collecting the contributions from all presenters in the ESPEN Congress in digitally recorded format except the LLL lectures.

The purpose of the recording is to make these State-of-the-Art presentations available to a wider audience and with this, the latest progress in clinical, research and patient oriented Clinical Nutrition will also be available to those not able to follow the proceedings during the conference.

KINDLY NOTE THAT:

  • The access to these presentations is included in the Full Access Registration fee
  • The presentations will be recorded as a series of slides accompanied by the speaker’s spoken comments and explanations from the session, but without video images
  • The presentations should be accessible approximately 3 weeks after the Congress
  • The presentations will be accessible for 12 months

The LLL Courses are paid courses to be reserved upon registration (cf. on-line registration form) and are open for all nutritional care givers (doctors, pharmacists, dietitians and nurses).
