EU-funded research project

NUTRIMIND

NUTRIMIND explores how what we eat shapes how we feel. Working with partners across Europe, we are investigating nutrition as a modifiable factor in preventing and managing stress, anxiety and depression.

About Nutrimind

Connecting nutrition, mental health and the evidence

NUTRIMIND is a four-year Horizon Europe (2026 – 2030) project that will explore links between nutrition and mental health using data from large European cohorts, combining dietary, clinical, behavioural, socioeconomic, and microbiome information. NUTRIMIND aims to provide a stronger evidence base for future prevention strategies, dietary guidance, research priorities, and public health policy.
