  • 7th Framework of the European Commission
    • The initial plan to submit a Socrates proposal with the network has to be revised as the Socrates programme as such stops.
    • New possibilities under FP7 and then specifically the Pillar ‘People’, could result in a separate proposal precisely tuned to the needs in CEE countries or in participation in a broader range of proposals with a mix of West and Central-Eastern European research groups.
  • Development of more generic skills: European Nutrition leadership programme (ENLP, see www.enlp.eu.com).
  • Overall promotion of nutrition
    • Several network members are involved in activities such as World Food Day, World Heart Day, etc. Those interested in involving famous people in the promotion of nutrition can use the mechanism and experience of FAO, in particular the Telefood.
    • Increase involvement with industry
    • Industry is often key in the production of healthier foods (low fat, law salt, fortification, etc). Fré Pepping will contact ILSI and European Technology Platform (ETP) - Food for life.
