More than 1200 Dietitians from over 40 countries descended on Granada, in the spectacular Andalusia region of Spain for the 17^th International Congress of Dietetics earlier this month. The conference explored the theme of sustainability – of our Dietetic profession, the future training of Dietitian-Nutritionists and the role of sustainable diets in non-communicable disease. Flinders University staff contributed to the fantastic program of international speakers (Jenni Suen presented an oral and poster and Dr Kacie Dickinson presented 3 posters) profiling a range of projects being undertaking by the department. It was great to see a number of Flinders Alumni who also contributed oral presentations during the program. The conference was a great opportunity to network with old and new international dietetic colleagues.

Prior to the ICD was the 6^th International Critical Dietetics Conference which was attended by Kacie and School of Health Science’s Dean Professor John Coveney. Critical Dietetics was a fantastic opportunity for insight and exploration regarding gender, race, class, ability, size, in the context of dietetics.
