It will explore the barriers and facilitators to embedding SFS within the curriculum and practice placements, providing an overview of these challenges and opportunities. Participants will gain insights from European and international activities in dietetics education, highlighting successful initiatives and collaborative efforts. Additionally, the session will discuss the impact of mandating certain aspects of sustainability in education, examining how these requirements can drive systemic change and enhance the competency of future dietitians. This session is designed for educators, researchers, and professionals committed to advancing sustainability within dietetics education. Your insights are valuable in understanding perceptions about their safety and health effects, as well as their use as sugar substitutes in dietetic practice.

In Dis4FooD, we aim to design and provide a training program for dietitians to equip them with the knowledge and skills to navigate complex food data infrastructures. The project adopts a co-creational approach, bringing together food data specialists from the Laboratory of Food Chemistry & Analysis of the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA) and dietitians from The European Federation of the Associations of Dietitians (EFAD) to identify and address their specific training needs. Parenteral nutrition (PN) is recognized as a complex high-risk therapy. Its practice is highly variable and frequently suboptimal in pediatric patients. Optimizing care requires evidence, consensus-based guidelines, audits of practice, and standardized strategies. Several pediatric scientific organizations, expert panels, and authorities have recently recommended that standardized PN should generally be used over individualized PN in the majority of pediatric patients including very low birth weight premature infants. We invite you to explore this insightful issue and engage with the latest research to support evidence-based approaches in pediatric nutrition and dietetics.

To enhance accessibility and facilitate the practical application of this information, the FAO and WHO have developed four brochures, available in six languages. This research aims to identify the attitudes towards TGD people, practice approaches and engagement with TGD people, their strengths and gaps in knowledge of TGD inclusive practice as health professionals. Secondary to this, possible avenues for positive change in dietetics education and practice on TGD health will also be explored.
