Food science communication trainings
You know the science. But does your audience understand it, trust it and know what to do with it?
If you are a researcher, health professional or communicator working with food, nutrition and health science, we offer practical trainings to improve your science communication skills based on the evidence from science, health and risk communication research.
Looking for a customised training for your organisation?
We offer tailored programmes and trainings for organisations seeking focused capacity building for their teams. Customisation options include delivery in other languages (ES, IT, DE), adaptation to specific needs, or thematic deep dives. For questions, group bookings, or to discuss a customised training package, please contact training@eufic.org.
What will you actually get from the training?
Each session combines research from science, health and risk communication with real examples from food and nutrition communication, so you can translate what you learn into better communication decisions.
We work based on three main pillars:
- UNDERSTAND: What does the research actually tell us about how people understand, interpret and respond to scientific information?
- APPLY: How can you use that evidence when writing a post, explaining a study, presenting data or communicating uncertainty?
- IMPROVE: How can you recognise common communication mistakes and make more effective choices?
You leave with practical frameworks, examples and tools you can use in your own communication.

Why learn science communication from EUFIC?
Because we don't just teach science communication. We practise it.
For 30 years, EUFIC has worked at the intersection of food science and public understanding, translating research into communication for public, professional and digital audiences. We have delivered trainings for institutions including the European Parliament, European Commission, the Federation of European Nutrition Societies, universities, and research consortia across Europe.
The result is training that connects what the research says, what the evidence means, and what you can actually do differently. The examples and applications are grounded in the kinds of communication challenges faced by people working with food, nutrition and health science.

A monthly selection of useful science communication research, practical resources and EUFIC training opportunities. Just things we think are worth knowing if you communicate food, nutrition or health science.
Which session to attend?
Not sure where to start? You don't need to follow the trainings in a particular order. Start with the challenge that is most relevant to your work right now.
For example, do you want to improve your science communication overall? “Principles and best practices for effective science communication” is a great place to start. Or maybe you struggle to communicate with different audiences? Then “Understanding and engaging diverse audiences” is the one you are probably looking for.
