FINUT is a non-profit and financially self-supporting entity; our vision is to promote research and training, identify problems of public interest and provide scientific answers; and involve all stakeholders in our cause. Every other year the FINUT Conference allows us to meet in person with the FINUT community and continue the education, information, and research activities in food sciences, nutrition, and health that are carried out virtually daily. We are deeply grateful to the Organizing Committee, the Local Committee, and all the entities represented therein, for their commitment and effort, the Scientific Committee members for their dedicated work and participation in the scientific program, and the University of Antioquia for their interest in hosting this event in Medellin and for all the support received by its authorities, directors, and professors during the organization and execution of the event. We thank all the sponsors who have supported and participated in carrying out this science-based, international event. Our most sincere thanks to the delegates (professionals, academics, researchers, clinicians, and students) who have once again trusted FINUT and who, with their participation, have made it possible to showcase scientific development in food, nutrition, health, and sustainability of the Ibero-American region at the FINUT Conference. ¡See you at the FINUT 2026 Conference!
