Grant 2018
The 2018 MNI Grant was awarded to the Spanish Society for Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition (SENPE) for its outstanding project to develop a cost-economic tool that would calculate the economic impact of disease-related malnutrition.
The award was consigned on 3 September 2018, during the ESPEN-ONCA-MNI Joint Session 2018, by MNI President - Tim Meyerhoff - to Dr Miguel León-Sanz, SENPE Chairman.
