We begin: DietWise consortium met in KU Leuven
2024-12-09
The DietWise project consortium gathered in Leuven, Belgium, for a crucial two-day kick-off meeting on 9-10 December. Hosted at the KU Leuven ALMA building, the event provided an excellent opportunity for partners to meet for the first time, align on project goals, discuss progress, and tackle key challenges.
We were honored to welcome EU officers Emanuela Marinelli and Daniela Lueth, whose participation and insights greatly enriched the discussions. Their presence underscored the significance of DietWise in the European research landscape.
All consortium members were actively engaged, bringing their expertise and knowledge to ensure the project’s success. Throughout the meeting, Work Package leaders presented their respective timelines and key objectives, helping all partners gain a clear understanding of the next steps. The discussions facilitated a shared vision and practical strategies for moving forward efficiently.
A focus of the meeting was also on the technical and ethical considerations surrounding the RCA tool and the RecipeWatch app. Partners exchanged ideas, addressed challenges, and identified potential solutions to ensure these tools meet the highest standards of usability and compliance.
The meeting concluded with an interactive workshop on influencer engagement. Partners explored
strategies to involve influencers in the project, discussing potential benefits and incentives that could encourage their participation. This session provided valuable insights into expanding DietWise’s reach and impact.
The Leuven kick-off meeting marked a significant step forward for the DietWise project, reinforcing collaboration and setting the stage for the next phase of development. We look forward to the continued progress and impact of our joint efforts!
