As the discovery of vitamins once illuminated the world of nutritional research, the field now stands at another pivotal crossroads. A historic collaboration between the Chinese Nutrition Society (CNS) and IMR Press promises to reshape the global nutrition landscape.
On January 12, 2025, Beijing hosted a momentous strategic cooperation signing ceremony and academic development symposium jointly organized by CNS and IMR Press. This gathering marked not only a significant milestone for Chinese nutritional science but also signaled the country's determined advancement onto the international stage.
The event brought together distinguished leaders including CNS President Professor Yang Yuexin, who also chairs the Federation of Asian Nutrition Societies, along with Vice Presidents Ma Aiguo, Xiao Rong, Chang Cuiging, and Yu Kang. IMR Press President Zhu Difeng and representatives from major media outlets witnessed this historic occasion.
Building Bridges in Nutritional Science
In her keynote address, Professor Yang praised IMR Press's professional excellence in academic publishing, particularly highlighting the International Journal of Vitamin and Nutrition Research (IJVNR). Established in 1930 by the Swiss Nutrition Society, IJVNR has long been at the forefront of nutritional research.
"This strategic partnership aligns with China's national strategy to develop world-class academic platforms," Professor Yang emphasized. "Through resource sharing and complementary advantages, we aim to create new chapters in nutrition science while contributing Chinese wisdom to global knowledge."
A Shared Vision for Scientific Advancement
Following comprehensive presentations about both organizations' histories and future directions, the ceremonial signing took place. The agreement establishes CNS's editorial leadership of IJVNR, marking a new era for the prestigious journal.
Post-signing discussions explored critical topics including:
