Yes, we came to believe that Congresses are best served by the presentation of original work by investigators. Besides the successful daily-chaired poster rounds, which require short focused presentation of original work on view to elicit informal discussions, the number of opportunities for oral presentations was as well expanded. Therefore, in addition to dedicated plenary sessions, up to two relevant oral presentations will be inserted in some Symposia only including two formal talks, enough time will hence be allocated for every presentation and discussion. We devised a comprehensive Program with multiprofessional and multidisciplinary Educational, Scientific, Special Interest Groups’ sessions within the boundaries of sound evidence-based Practice to targeted Research exploring the basis for appropriate cost/effective “Right Nutrition”. Whenever participants get too tired from the thick knowledge inside the Congress Centre, just pop-out the main door and look right: the sight of the river Tejo will settle up your ideas, then just go in to attend another session, or visit an exhibition, or exchange ideas with new or old partners… Come and share the warmth of the Lisbon Congress: “Nutrition… Just do it Right!”; and please try not to miss the flavour of Lisboa itself. We look forward to meeting you in luminous Lisboa at the 26th ESPEN Congress from 11th to 14th September 2004.
