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 and 2017), Scandinavia (2009) and South West USA and Mexico (2011).
In 2019, the 15th edition of the PhD Tour carries additional significance as it takes place on the 50th anniversary of our division, and will occur in a previously unexplored country: Canada!
This PhD tour aims to exchange scientific knowledge and connect with scientists to stimulate innovative research collaborations in the future in the field of human nutrition. Therefore, we will visit excellent research universities and 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 educational trip.
The PhD tour committee of 2019
