About DEEPeR

DEEPeR is the next phase of the European Dietetic Action Plan (EuDAP) Database, originally launched in 2015 by the European Federation of the Associations of Dietitians (EFAD). While EuDAP focused on documenting actions aligned with European health policies from 2015-2020, DEEPeR expands this mission to map both research and non-research initiatives that contribute to better nutrition and sustainable health outcomes.

EuDAP Objectives (2015-2020)

  • Ensuring healthy food and nutrition is accessible, affordable, attractive, and sustainable
  • Promoting healthy diet benefits throughout life, especially for vulnerable groups
  • Utilising dietitians as educators and experts across community and clinical settings
  • Demonstrating dietitians’ effectiveness in improving health outcomes
  • Strengthening governance, alliances, and networks for health-in-all-policies
