4 Nutrition and Ageing Ageing and functional decline is unavoidable Challenge: Enable healthy ageing Increase healthy life years Improve quality-of-life and well-being Prevent mental and physical impairment Research on: LIPIDIDIET - FP7 • Effect of nutrition & physical activity on ageing process The therapeutic and preventive impact of nutritional lipids on • Optimal lifestyle to prevent mental & physical decline neuronal and cognitive performance in aging, Alzheimer’s • Develop new healthy and/or functional foods adapted to disease and vascular dementia (6 m€) needs, behaviour, preferences of aging consumers NUAGE – FP7 Diet and prevention of functional decline of the elderly (9 m€) PERFORMANCE – FP7 Personalised Food using rapid manufactoring for the nutrition of elderly consumers (3M€) Research and Policy Innovation
5 Nutrition and Obesity/diabetes • Obesity prevalence is rising to epidemic proportions in both developed and developing countries worldwide • Increase in overweight and obesity is particularly severe for children and adolescents EARLY NUTRITION - FP7 (9 M€) Childhood obesity is predictor for adult obesity: TOYBOX –FP7 Lifestyle factors including diet, eating habits are often Behavioural models for prevention of obesity, with particular focus on adopted during the early year of life children (3 M€) Obesity & overweight are risk factors for chronic diseases: Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stroke,… OBELIX – FP7 Obesogenic Endocrine disrupting chemicals: Linking prenatal exposure to the development of obesity later in life (3 m€) PREVIEW – FP7 Prevention of diabetes through lifestyle intervention and population studies in Europe and around the world (9 M€) Research and Policy Innovation
6 Nutrition and CVD Largest cause of death in EU (40% of deaths) and the financial burden for EU health care systems is high Leading causes of long term sickness => loss to labour market CVD are very strongly associated with social conditions => linked to behaviours and lifestyles Main research focus on prevention ATHENA – FP7 project • Understand beneficial and harmful effects of dietary factors on CVD Anthocyanin and polyphenols for health enhancement through • Understand the specific needs and habits of population groups as a nutritional advancement (6 m€) major controllable factor in the development and reduction of occurrence CVD FLAVIOLA –FP7 project • Change dietary habits and lifestyles Target delivery of dietary flavonols for optimal human cell functions: • Help citizens to make healthier choices effect on cardiovascular health (3 m€) • Identify other underlying determinants of CVDs: globalization, urbanization, population ageing, poverty and stress Research and Policy Innovation
7 Nutrition and Mental health Challenges • 11% of population experience mental disorders every year • 1 out of 4 people experiencing mental health problems at least once in their lives • Increased health care costs • Reduced productivity: absenteism, reduced workplace performance, early retirement Main research focus NUTRIMENTHE – FP7 •Cognitive function: Establishing relationship between nutrition and learning The effect of diet on the mental performance of children (6 M€) abilities and other cognitive attributes through entire lifespan •Mood and optimal performance: mapping the impact of specific food LIPIDIDIET - FP7 ingredients on mood and mental performance and understanding of the Therapeutic and preventive impact of nutritional lipids on neuronal and mechanisms cognitive performance in ageing, Alzheimer’s disease and vascular •Neuroprotection and prevention of cognitive decline (Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease or dementia): Understanding of the molecular and dementia (6 M€) cellular mechanisms associated with the neuro-protective effects of dietary compounds NEUROFAST- FP7 Stress, addiction and eating behaviour (6 m€) Research and Policy Innovation
8 Consumer choice and eating behaviour Challenges • Consumers trends: taste, pleasure, health and convenience • Diversity of consumers, targeted populations • Consumer protection => Better informed the consumer to make the healthy choice the easy choice EATWELL- FP7 Main research focus Measures aimed at promoting healthy eating habits (3M€) HABEAT - FP7 • Better understanding consumer behaviour, habits and Determinants of food habit formation/breaking (3 M€) preferences I-FAMILY - FP7 • Consumer perception Determinants of food choice and eating habits (9 M€) FLABEL - FP7 • Understanding of societal and cultural trends How nutrition information on food labels affects consumer behaviour and dietary intake (3M€) FULL4HEALTH – FP7 Understanding Food-Gut-Brain mechanisms across the lifespan in the regulation of hunger and satiety for health (9M€) Research and Policy Innovation

What is Horizon 2020 • Initial Commission proposal for a 80 billion euro research and innovation funding programme (2014- 2020); now just over 72 billion euro. • A core part of Europe 2020, Innovation Union & European Research area: • Responding to the economic crisis to invest in future jobs and growth • Addressing people's concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment • Strengthening the EU's global position in research, innovation and technology 12 Research and Policy This presentation shall neither be binding nor construed Innovation as constituting commitment by the European Commission
New approach to work programmes and calls More strategic • Two year work • programmes (2014-2015: > € 15 billion) Less prescriptive calls • (64 calls in 2014) Broader and fewer topics First call deadlines as from March 2014 Research and Policy Innovation
Major Simplification for the benefit of applicants 1. A single set of rules for all funding under Horizon 2020 Fewer, more flexible, funding instruments 2. Simpler reimbursement: 1 project = 1 funding rate 100% of the total eligible costs (70% for innovation actions) Non-profit legal entities can also receive 100% in innovation actions Single flat rate for indirect costs (25% of eligible costs) 3. Faster time to grant Within 8 months of call deadline Research and Policy Innovation
Major Simplification for the benefit of applicants 4. Fewer, better targeted controls and audits 5. Coherent implementation Through dedicated agencies Single IT system 6. Simplification in grant agreements 7. Improved rules on intellectual property 8. International participation Policy Research and Innovation
Simpler access through the Participant Portal (1) Single entry point • from calls to electronic submission of proposals New tools for smart searches for the benefit of users, • including newcomers to the programme. Policy Research and Innovation
Horizon 2020 implementation • Collaborative Projects (CP) & Coordination & Support Actions (CSA) • European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT), theme planned in 2014: Food4future (sustainable food supply chain, from farm to fork) • European Technology Platform (ETP): Food for Life • Public- Private Partnerships , e.g. Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs) • Public- Public Partnerships , e.g. Joint research Programme Initiatives (JPI) 'A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life' and 'Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change' Policy Research and Innovation Slide 17 of 23
