Mission
We translate scientific knowledge on ageing and geriatric nutrition to evidence-based practical information and tools, enabling dietitians in Europe to improve dietetic care of older adults.

• developing advanced competence statements for dietitians working
in the specialist field

• sharing and learning from dietetic practices for older adults
across Europe

through the ESDN members

monitor the developments in education and LLL of other health

Education, Research and Professional Practice

• developing research proposals (research questions, design,
methodology) in order to promote the participation of dietitians
in EU and other research projects.
