NPPC-VÚP Slovakia organised the first Online training on food composition data collection and documentation during 2nd and 5th October 2023 for representatives from Moldova and North Macedonia.

Altogether 14 participants from three organisations attended the training – 5 from Technical University of Moldova, Kishinev (UTM), 4 from Public Health Institute, Skopje, North Macedonia (PHI) and 5 from Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, North Macedonia (UKIM).

The main topic of the training was food composition data documentation using European/EuroFIR and world/INFOODS standards and recommendations. The practical exercises were conducted using Daris software, the Slovak DBMS.

The online form of the training was a challenge mainly in regard to practical exercises, however, more participants had opportunity to attend the training. It was a great experience for the Slovak compilers. Software Daris 1.1.9, user manual, lectures, presentations and training with the software were provided to the target countries free of charge within the Official development support programme for Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia under umbrella of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic.
