EDULIA \u2013 BRINGING DOWN BARRIERS TO CHILDREN\u2019S HEALTHY EATING<\/strong><\/p>\n

HORIZON 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deadline: May 20th, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Edulia is a multi-disciplinary and inter-sectorial European Training and Research Network with a global reach. Edulia responds to the urgent need of the EU society to find new ways to tackle the escalating issue of obesity, through promoting healthier eating from childhood, within the context of choice.<\/p>\n

The program is part of an ITN-ETN Marie Curie Training Network, funded by the EU through Horizon 2020.<\/p>\n

Our network will train 11 young innovative and adaptable researchers in high-level skills across complementary fields through studying children\u2019s food choices, in order to build strong career development paths.<\/p>\n

Edulia <\/em><\/strong>will address the question of how to balance food pleasure and nutritional needs for children in a changing society? Edulia<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s approach\u00a0\u00a0will cover the main determinants of preferences, bringing together leading scientists <\/strong>in the children\u2019s Food Choice arena, devoted to the training of\u00a0eleven early stage researchers <\/strong>(ESRs)\u00a0\u00a0who will become experts at the interface of the following complementary fields: Food Science, Sensory Science and Perception, Sensometrics, Human Nutrition, Consumer Behaviour, Eating Behaviour, Social Marketing, Food Socialization, Psychology, Cognitive Science and Neurosciences.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The training program includes multidisciplinary scientific training within both natural and social sciences, secondments in academic and non-academic organisations, and courses in transferable skills, promoting science communication and outreach.<\/p>\n
