The Mediterranean Diet as an example of planetary friendly diet

The Mediterranean Diet as an example of planetary friendly diet

The Mediterranean Diet as an example of planetary friendly diet

Short description of what will be presented during the seminar:

The seminar will cover the key definitions of the Mediterranean Diet beyond the food pyramid to indicate how cultural practices of the Mediterranean people have shaped a food production and consumption pattern that supports the One Health framework. The Mediterranean Diet will be studied as an example of a planetary diet with high sustainability links beyond the human health benefits, while inviting the participants to think outside the box and embrace the key concepts of the Mediterranean way of living.

According to him, this mobility broadened his scope by introducing biological research methods outside his main discipline.

Beyond the academic schedule, Athens itself became an important part of Ajaykanna's experience. From the #Acropolis and #Parthenon to the #Olympic #Stadium and the #National #Archaeological #Museum, the city wasn't just beautiful โ€“ it was also inspiring.

Our colleagues from UTCB applied in Septemberโ€“October 2025 at the widerAdvance Facility Open Call and they were successfully selected to benefit from the Dissemination & Exploitation (D&E) Academy, a capacity-building service supporting research teams in maximising the impact of their project results.

The D&E Academy โ€” part of the widerAdvance Facilityโ€™s tailored service portfolio โ€” supports beneficiaries in developing effective strategies to disseminate, exploit and validate research results, helping teams refine their value proposition and engage with potential early adopters.

So far the following events took place:

โœ”๏ธ 1st Workshop (online) โ€” 21st of November 2025

โœ”๏ธ 2nd Workshop (in-person) โ€” 14thโ€“15th of January 2026 at UTCB

Representatives from the EU-CONEXUS UTCB Team and International Relations Office also participated at these interactive sessions, aimed at enhancing the teamโ€™s skills and readiness to bring research results closer to real-world impact.

๐Ÿ‘€ Stay tuned โ€” the 3rd and final workshop will be held within the next two months!
