Report 4: The Dissemination Potential of a European Network
The report that follows represents an extraordinary and unique exchange of information. Unfolding
here are the capabilities for dissemination and exploitation in the EU-funded Thematic Network
âDietitians Implementing Education and Training Standardsâ in Europe (DIETS).
At the beginning of the Network there were 112 Partners and about 500 registered users of the
DIETS website, but over a three-year period this has increased to 123 Partners and well over 1000
users.
The activity of these Partners and their determination to publicise the Network and, more
importantly, the role of the dietitian, has been immense and sometimes difficult to capture.
However, captured in this report are the learning and change to practice that has resulted, as well
as closer engagement between HEIs and their dietetic departments across Europe. Some of the
good practice described here will be of value to others starting this type of journey.
This network of HEIs, their dietetic colleagues and others will endure long after the DIETS Network
has finished its work, largely due to the enthusiasm of the Partners and the social network that has
been built and embedded. The ultimate benefit to dietitians, through education, lifelong learning
and their contribution to nutritional health in Europe will continue to unfold
Report 1: building a technologically informed information and communication network in europe
This report represents an extraordinary and unique exchange of information across Europe through the creation of a website and learning how to use technology more effectively. Over the three-year period the capabilities conducted as part the EU funded Thematic Network âDietitians Implementing Education and Training Standardsâ in Europe (DIETS) are presented here. The number of users registered to access the intranet (password-protected) section of the website grew rapidly from 0 at launch to 965 by the end of the third year.
A great deal of learning and change to practice has resulted as well as closer engagement between HEIs and their dietetic departments across Europe. This Network of HEIs and their dietetic colleagues will endure long after the DIETS Network has finished its work, largely due to the enhanced ITC capabilities. The ultimate benefit to the dietetic profession, their education and lifelong learning and their contribution to nutritional health in Europe will continue to unfol
