ABOUT THE VITAMIN D WORKSHOP

The Vitamin D Workshops are international scientific conferences that bring together basic researchers, clinicians and nutrition experts from around the globe.  The Founding Director of the Vitamin D Workshops was Anthony Norman (1938-2019).   Since the first congress in 1973, there have been 25 Vitamin D Workshops.  We typically host a multi-day forum where the latest research on Vitamin D is presented, debated and shared​.  The Vitamin D Workshops are open to anyone with an interest in the biology and health implications of Vitamin D. An important outcome of our meeting is publication of a dedicated issue of the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology featuring work presented at the conference.  Proceedings from past meetings can be accessed under the Annual Conferences tab.  

​The Workshops are organized by a dedicated group of internationally recognized scientists who are experts on Vitamin D.  A Workshop Executive Committee (WEC) is formed for each meeting and is responsible for planning and implementing the annual meetings. A Program Advisory Committee (PAC) assists in choosing session topics, speakers and awardees for each workshop. Committee members also contribute to editing and reviewing manuscripts for the Proceedings of each Workshop.

As an non-profit organization, we rely on corporate sponsorships, exhibitors and government grants to fund the workshops.  Please contact us if you are interested in partnering with us in support of future Vitamin D Workshops.
