FLAVIOLA International Workshop

The FLAVIOLA International Workshop on Flavanols in Cardiovascular Health will take place on 24 January 2013.

It will be held as an open workshop with presentations of the pivotal scientific findings obtained within FLAVIOLA and discussion thereof. These presentations will be complimented and set into a more general perspective by “context” talks presented by international experts from the scientific community with close connection to flavanol related research. The workshop will end with a round table discussion by invited experts, who will also author the “workshop proceedings”.
