Aim: To identify, analyse and test the feasibility of implementing or linking with data and supporting information (both technical and content) from existing and new research infrastructures that could be linked to, or enrich, the RI Consumer Data Platform.

The tasks include:

• To analyse data on: a) food composition & attributes; b) a case on standardised dietary intake for population-based intake assessments; c) clinical intervention studies; d) diet, health and lifestyle
• To define the conceptual connection of these ongoing research infrastructures towards the RI Consumer Data Platform in order to deliver data and supporting information in the future
• To conclude on gaps and needs, and to formulate recommendations for the RI Consumer Data Platform

Outputs:

9.1 Integrated report on four case studies and proposed data outputs for RI Consumer Data Platform

9.2 Final report with recommendations for a new framework for future collaboration and interfacing between existing RIs and the RI Consumer Data Platform

9.3 Scientific manuscript on overall case study outcomes and future frameworks

To illustrate, explore and feed phase 3 of RICHFIELDS (Designing the Research Infrastructure Platform), especially the work package “Data Integration and Management”, with links and information to be utilised by the RI Consumer Data Platform.

The tasks include:

• To identify and map laboratories and facilities in the EU-28 addressing food choice, purchase, and consumption of food, including health and lifestyle aspects
• To produce case studies on select facilities that cover food choice, purchase and consumption measures (incl. health and lifestyle), assess the (raw) data they produce, and how the data can be linked in future research infrastructure
• To draft protocols on harmonising data collection for food choice, purchase and consumption of food as well as the linking of these data
• To define a possible connection towards the RI Consumer Data Platform and formulate recommendations regarding gaps and needs for the RI Consumer Data Platform

Outputs:
