Harmonising nutrient recommendations across Europe with special focus on vulnerable groups and consumer understanding

Objective

1. EURRECAs overall objective is to create a sustainable collaborative network to develop science based harmonised nutrient recommendations across Europe.
2. EURRECA is a multi-national network, including many new EU member States. It comprises academics, SMEs and consumer organisations who will be expertly coordinated into a structured framework over five years.
3. EURRECAs Research Activities will:
Systematically review existing data and collect new data as appropriate in all the vulnerable groups required by the call.
Critically assess and promote standardisation for specific uses and groups of methodologies for nutrient intakes, status and requirements.
Identify micronutrients critical for the health of certain population groups.
Develop comprehensive, innovative and consumer-friendly nutrient recommendations.
4. Through its cross-cutting Integrating Activities, EURRECA will:
Involve consumer and other stakeholder groups in all stages, including research, training, and dissemination.
Integrate Science and Standards throughout to optimise quality assurance.
Encourage SMEs to identify opportunities for exploitation in diverse fields such as computer software and laboratory assays.
Address individual differences within population groups and increase consumer understanding in general, as both are prerequisites for behavioural change.
5. By identifying critical micronutrients in vulnerable population groups, EURRECA will guide the development of country-specific Food Based Dietary Guidelines (production of which is not actually required by Sixth Framework Call). Governmental (and other) representation on advisory panels will ensure dissemination to those involved with the development of nutrition policy in Europe.
