ARLA FOOD FOR HEALTH CONFERENCE

The 2020 Arla Food for Health conference has been moved to October 28^th. If we are able to have a face to face conference the venue will still be Arla Innovation Centre, Agro Food Park 19, 8200 Aarhus N. If the Covid-19 situation is preventing us from having the conference face to face it will be converted to an online conference. We expect to have more information after the summer holidays.

CONTINUATION OF ARLA FOOD FOR HEALTH

In Arla food for Health, we want to be fully transparent about our partnership. Therefore we have decided to publish both the full and a popular and shorter version of our new collaboration agreement at our homepage.

NEWS FROM PROJECTS

Based on knowledge from our recently submitted status reports, many projects in Arla Food for Health seems to be affected by the Covid-19 lock down. We expect to get a better overview of the consequences of this based on the project status reports due in October.

COMMUNICATION

One of the focus areas in Arla Food for Health 2.0 is to step up communication. We have discussed how to do this both in the Steering Committee and in the Sponsor Group and one of the initiatives is to put more focus on the quality of the dissemination plan in the applications. This will be backed up by allocation of funding for communication in the budget (up to 1% of total budget). Please reach out your local communication expert for help and guidance. The quality of the dissemination plan will be part of the overall evaluation of the application.

Best regards from

Anne Louise Mørkbak, Director Arla Food for Health
