IN JUNE, JAÉN WILL HOST A CONFERENCE BRINGING TOGETHER, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SPAIN, THE WORLD’S LEADING EXPERTS IN HEALTH AND EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

The Harvard School of Public Health and the University of Navarra are joining forces with the University Institute of Research on Olive Grove and Olive Oils (INUO) at the University of Jaén (UJA) to organise the 6th International Congress on Olive Oils and Health, funded by the Provincial Council of Jaén, which will be attended by leading international figures in research into cancer, obesity and diabetes and their relationship with lifestyle habits.

Consequently, on 11 and 12 June, the world capital of olive oil will become the international hub for cutting-edge research into extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and its effects on health.

Some of the most prestigious figures in global health and nutrition research will gather at this event to present the latest discoveries in cutting-edge disciplines such as ‘precision medicine’ and ‘metabolomics’, which are set to revolutionise the medical sector.

Frank B. Hu, Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at Harvard University and one of the lead researchers behind the large-scale study that highlighted the benefits of nuts for improving cardiovascular health; Miguel Á. Martínez González, a nutritional epidemiologist whose work is essential for understanding the relationship between health and the Mediterranean diet; as well as coordinator of the high-profile PREDIMED study; Heather Eliassen, Professor of Epidemiology at Harvard and head of research into biomarkers that enable the diagnosis of certain types of cancer to be anticipated by several years; and Pietro Ferrari, Head of Nutrition at the International Agency for Research on Cancer, will be among the leading figures bringing Jaén into the spotlight regarding the impact of lifestyle habits on health.

As well as a unique scientific event, a range of experiences centred on extra virgin olive oil – such as a cooking demonstration with ‘Estella Michelin’, a visit to an olive oil mill and guided tastings – will enable attendees from dozens of countries to discover the capital of this gastronomic gem.
