INPROFOOD aimed to find new ways to establish dialogue and mutual learning between industry, academia and civil society. This objective was pursued by achieving those goals:

promoting bottom-up development of concepts (processes and structure) of societal engagement in food and health research;
investigating current processes and structures in the area of food and health in both private and public research sectors and the role ‘Public Engagement in Research’ takes in these sectors;
developing stakeholder engagement programs both at national and European levels, stimulate the adoption of concrete initiatives of societal engagement in food and health research already in the course of the project by forming an action plan that draws insights from various workshops;
improving the current methodology used in Science in Society (SiS) projects through evaluation of the methodology implemented during the planned project in relation to its objectives and expected impacts;
keeping the target audience and wider audience informed regarding the advances of the project by continuously disseminating relevant information using various communication tools and channels;
additionally supporting and complementing existing FP7 programmes KBBE and HEALTH through establishing cooperations with approved projects and implementing joint activities.
