NUTRIM Partnerships
The NUTRIM community is a diverse network that provides a sounding board between individuals sharing the same interests. The benefit of the strong NUTRIM network community comes from the ongoing professional connections and collaborations that are forged between people engaged in nutrition and translational research in metabolism around the world. These connections grow and consolidate within the network and offer supportive opportunities for each member to help solve issues in their own home countries. Part of our mission is contributing to the continuation of exchange of expertise in research, collaborations and partnerships that takes place within this network.
Based in Maastricht, NUTRIM Institute of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism, collaborates with leading research institutes on four continents around the world: Europe, North America, South America and Asia.
