1. The meeting will take place in the Mas Barrufet building of the INC, in Reus (Spain). All the sessions will take place in a boardroom using an oval table (see the pictures in the Meeting Venue section).

3. This meeting is divided into 10 sessions that will address different topics in relation to nuts and dried fruits.
4. As you prepare your presentation, we would like to suggest the following framework in order to have harmonized presentations that facilitate achieving the 2 important conference goals:
- To update on existing evidence in your topics – Where we are
- To inform future research and funding focus- with your recommendations, identifying gaps in evidence – Where we are going
Please use the shared PowerPoint template:
We will be very grateful if you could send your PPT slides to the chairs of your session (all emails are included here) with a cc marked to Prof Jordi Salas (jordi.salas@urv.cat) & Ms Jiaqi Ni (jiaqi.ni@urv.cat) by Oct 1st with your files named: Your_name _NUTS2025.
5. Two chairs have been assigned to each session. The mission of the chairs is not only to moderate, but also to foster the critical spirit of the discussion and encourage the participation of all attendees.
6. Each presenter has 20 minutes to deliver the assigned topic to the audience. In the last slide(s) the speaker will identify the gaps that he/she believes exist in the knowledge of the topic and discuss future opportunities of research.
7. A subcommittee including Professors Sabaté, Ros, Kendall, and Salas-Salvadó will summarize all the conference’s content with the help of the Scientific Secretariat.
