The Maternal, Parental and Infant Nutrition and Nurture (MAINN) Unit at the University of Lancashire is pleased to announce the MAINN Conference 2027, taking place from Wednesday 28 – Friday 30 April 2027.

Building on a long-standing and highly regarded conference series, MAINN 2027 will bring together researchers, practitioners, policy makers, advocates and students to explore the biological, psychological, social, cultural, political and economic dimensions of nutrition and nurture across infancy and early childhood.

The conference continues MAINN’s commitment to advancing biopsychosocial understandings of infant and child feeding, caregiving and wellbeing, and to fostering meaningful dialogue between research, policy and practice.
