UPCOMING: 2023 International Symposium on Dietary Protein for Human Health
Following on from the highly influential symposium held in 2011 in Auckland, New Zealand, the 2023 International Symposium on Dietary Protein for Human Health will provide an update and "forum for debate" on contemporary issues related to protein nutrition in human health and sustainable food protein production.
The three-day conference will be held from 14–16 September 2023 in Utrecht, Kingdom of the Netherlands, with options to join both in-person and virtually. Conference proceedings will be published in a leading open-access journal.
The symposium is co-convened by FAO, the Riddet Institute and Wageningen University & Research in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The first committee on calorie (energy) requirements made a number of points which are still pertinent today. Among the most important were:
- Requirements were intended for groups of persons rather than individuals, i.e., an average requirement can never be compared directly with an individual (requirement).
- Judgement must be exercised in interpreting and using requirement values.
- It is essential to address the practical applications of the requirements, a task assigned to the Secretariat.
