The aim is to develop a coordinated European service offering in food, nutrition and health, paving the way for the future research infrastructure and its inclusion in the ESFRI Roadmap 2030.

On this occasion, the CALIS Research Infrastructure presented the French node of the national “Consumer, Food and Health” platforms, supported by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR).

🌍 The meeting brought together partners from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Belgium, Hungary, Italy, Iceland, Norway, Germany, Denmark, Greece and Canada, reflecting the growing international momentum behind this future research infrastructure.

🤝 The meeting also provided an opportunity to strengthen partnerships, notably through visits to the AgroBioTech Research Centre, the Food Incubator and the Creative Centre.

🚀 Next steps, planned for late October: consolidate the consortium, map the services available across participating countries, and continue developing a structured European service offering in food, nutrition and health.
