For general public

The conference focusing on research professionals is followed up by program dedicated to general public. We are preparing panel discussions about plant-based diet life from different point of views, climate change and its relationship to our diet and behaviour as the more serious discussion about policies we should adopt as a society. Workshops for vegetarian and vegan parents with experts from abroad and others. Everything of course spiced up with the opportunity for social gathering.

VESNA, ACADEMIC NETWORK FOR THE STUDY ON VEGAN DIETS

VESNA network was founded as an informal network of European scholars and researchers in January 2019 in Prague. The founding members steamed out from 14 research institutions across nine EU countries.

VESNA is an informal network that has arisen from shared interest in health effects of plant-based diets. It brings together researchers with wide scope of expertise ranging from clinical science, through epidemiology, to food policy and environmental research. Want to learn more?
