This two-day networking and collaboration event will bring together researchers and clinicians interested in advancing the use of whole-room indirect calorimetry in metabolic research. The program will feature keynote lectures, interactive discussions, and opportunities to connect with peers across institutions and disciplines.

This event aims to strengthen the international WRIC community, support early-career researchers, and facilitate scientific exchange around methodological, analytical, and collaborative aspects of whole-room indirect calorimetry.

Target Audience

The event is open to:

• researchers working within human translational and basic research
• students and early-career investigators
• data scientists
• clinicians
• technical specialists
• and others interested in metabolic research and the use of WRIC.

Whether you are already working with WRIC or simply curious about the possibilities, this event offers a chance to exchange ideas, connect with peers, and explore new collaborations.
