Exciting Developments in Our Strategic Partnership!
We are thrilled to announce the latest developments in our ongoing development of a strategic collaboration with King's College London (KCL). A national bid led by KCL, in which we are a supporting partner organisation, has been successful.
Â
The London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP) bid by KCL to the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) has been successful. Overall, along with partner organisations, the LISS DTP will support up to 60 studentships annually, beginning this October. These studentships will encompass various focus areas, including advanced quantitative methods, digital skills, and interdisciplinary research that transcends multiple research council domains. Additionally, the LISS DTP has secured funding to sponsor four Postdoctoral Fellowships each year. One of our primary roles within this partnership is to position nutrition studies prominently among these interdisciplinary PhD projects.

NNEdPro Hosts Successful UK MTK Culinary Nutrition Education Session at the Dundee & Angus College
We are thrilled to announce that we have recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Dundee & Angus College, further solidifying our commitment to culinary education and community engagement. Excitement filled the air at the Arbroath Campus as the first UK MTK Culinary Nutrition Education session of 2024 commenced on February 21st. With fifteen eager participants from the local community, the event promised a journey of learning, discovery, and culinary delight.
Â
Supported by EIT Food, the programme, initiated by D&A College, aims to equip participants with essential skills for both employment and entrepreneurship. It offers a unique blend of culinary training and nutrition education, providing a pathway to new opportunities in the food industry. Led by Executive Chef Kantesh and Chef Tutor Maja, the participants embarked on a culinary adventure, guided by a flagship menu template adapted from the Kolkata MTK cookbook specifically for the UK audience. The session focused not only on mastering culinary techniques but also on understanding the nutritional value of meals.
Â
Divided into four teams, the participants showcased their culinary prowess by preparing a delectable three-course meal. Remarkably, the meal, priced at a mere £4 per plate, met the daily requirements of essential micronutrients, boasted high protein content, and offered sustained energy release, all while promoting sustainability. As the session concluded on a high note, participants and organisers alike expressed anticipation for future sessions. The event served as a testament to the transformative power of culinary education, empowering individuals to make healthier choices and pursue rewarding careers in the food industry.
