Current Projects
EuroFIR AISBL has been an active participant in EU-funded projects since 2009. These projects cover risk-benefit analysis of food supplements containing non-nutritive bioactive compounds, food information and traceability in the food chain, and improving European nutrition through a fully evidence-based profession of dietetics. Over the years we have demonstrated our expertise across two areas:
Scientific research:
We have significant expertise in nutrition and food composition which has been applied in the development of new web-based tools, for example ePlantLIBRA, contributed to the development of food composition databases, and applied the knowledge, for example in food labelling. The tools, and the data therein, can be applied in numerous projects, from food waste to personalised nutrition. Our technical expertise is used in the development in the core principles of EuroFIR, namely standardising and harmonising food composition data, globally.
Communication:
Over the years, we have developed considerable expertise in online and offline communication. We have organised a variety of stakeholder events, from conferences and workshops, to webinars and seminars. We have developed, and maintain several websites, and social media accounts for a variety of projects. These communications are underpinned by stakeholder analysis and community engagement.

That's because we are always looking for new partners to collaborate with, and projects to engage in, so if we provide something you might need, then please, get in touch!
NUTRIMIND is a four-year Horizon Europe research initiative running from June 1, 2026, to May 31, 2030, that investigates how nutrition, the gut microbiome, and lifestyle factors interact with mental health across a person's lifespan
EU-FODMAP aims to develop the first open-access, EU-focused dataset providing quantitative information on short-chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols in European foods
This preparatory action aims to position EuroFIR AISBL as a future thematic Node within the EOSC Federation.
FlavourFerm aims to optimse and apply fermentation technologies to enhance the flavour, texture, and nutritional quality of plant-based foods, meeting demand for nutritious and sustainable alternatives. It focuses on precision fermentation for non-animal casein, fungal biomass fermentation from legumes, and traditional fermentation with chickpeas and lupins for plant-based cheese, meat, and dairy substitutes.
Data4Food2030 aims to enlarge the knowledge base and insight into the data economy for food systems (DE4FS), establish a system that monitors and evaluates development, performance, and impact of DE4FS on EU policies.
Zero Hidden Hunger’s activities will focus on the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies in European populations including vulnerable or hard-to-reach groups. Strategies will be developed to address these persistent nutritional inequalities.
