Societal challenge (Horizon2020)

Karin ZimmermannStudying the need for food and health research infrastructures in Europe

Europe is facing major challenges in promoting health and reducing the disease burden of age- and diet-related non-communicable diseases by means of lifestyle, food and nutrition.

For adequate response to these societal challenges it is needed to

• Develop effective (public) health nutrition strategies• Ensure sustainable production at EU and global level

(Horizon 2020)

EU-wide Research Infrastructures (RIs) are essentia l to achieve this.

Grant no 311788-CSA-SA


RIs enable adequate response to the scientific

& societal challenges!

ResearchInfrastructures

(centre of knowledge triangle)

Help to shape scientific communities:

Attract young people to science & attract the

best researchers from around the world,

Build bridges between national research communities and

scientific disciplines via users from different

countries

Research Innovation

Unique research services,

facilities, resources and related

services

‘single-sited’, ‘distributed’, ‘virtual’

scientific discoveries

& technological development

Objectives and scope of the project


Objective of EuroDISH

To provide advanced and feasible recommendations on the NEEDS for food and health RIs to ESFRI and other stakeholders in terms of:• integration of the existing RIs• development of new ones

Aim of DISH-RI

DISH-RI aims to be an overarching, virtual, integrated, open access research environment to collate, validate, harmonise and connect existing and future research data.



Backbone, Data, Tools andServices


Data – harmonization & sharing• Pan-EU food and nutrition surveillance system• Pan-EU nutrition health cohort and interventions• Food quality, food safety, sustainability & health

Tools – Innovation & standardization• Innovative assessment of diet and lifestyle• Innovative markers for nutrition and health

Impact

DISH-RI will support innovative cutting-edge research on food, nutrition and health by connecting education, innovation and research.

DISH-RI will help policy makers and industry to increase the impact of (public health) food strategies and ultimately to improve the health of all Europeans.
