During the IUNS Council Meeting in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) in February 2014, the Council reviewed the IUNS Committees and Task Forces to determine those that had completed their charge, and those that were still active and productive. The review resulted in continuing task forces that had active agendas yet to accomplish, and in establishing some new task forces to meet a specific need. The IUNS Task Forces are formed to tackle global issues on nutrition of current relevance. Each task force has a chairperson or chair persons, and they are encouraged to include an early-career nutrition scientist in the team as a way to build capacity. Task forces are approved for a period of four years. Typical task force outputs are publications and workshops at international conferences. Task forces undergo review every four years to ensure they have met their mandate. Most activities are carried out using electronic media. Moreover, they may organize workshops or symposia on their assigned topics at a nutrition conference under the umbrella of IUNS. IUNS encourages the publication of meeting reports and task force outputs in professional journals, and reports will be published on the IUNS website.
