The ANH Academy Week is a series of annual events that bring together the community of researchers, practitioners and policymakers working at the intersection of agriculture, food systems, nutrition, and health. The objective of the ANH Academy Week is to foster knowledge exchange, innovation and learning around interdisciplinary ANH research.

The ANH Academy Week format consists of two interlinked components:

1. 1. Learning Labs – a series of training workshops in interdisciplinary skills and knowledge for agriculture, nutrition and health research and practice;
   2. Research Conference – an abstract-driven symposium featuring oral presentations, poster sessions and keynote speeches, as well as plenary round tables, side events and working group discussions.
