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 „Dietitians Implementing Education and Training Standards‟ 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 unfold
