General information

The European Nutrition Leadership Platform (ENLP) was pioneered 26 years ago to develop and cultivate leadership skills among nutrition scientists in Europe. Its mission is to develop, inspire and connect leaders in food and nutrition. Organized by a group of leading European nutritionists, in close collaboration with a consortium of European universities and research institutes (ENABLE), and funded by sponsors from the European food industry, it is part of a global network of Nutrition Leadership Platforms (NLPs).

The Platform organises two seminars, ENLP Essentials and ENLP Advanced, which have been proven as an extremely inspiring and effective model to develop leadership and communication skills. By now, more than 800 people have taken part, creating an extensive network of nutrition professionals.

ENLP Advanced Seminar

This highly practical and personalised course on leadership skills is specially designed for mid-to-senior managers in the areas of nutrition, food, and health, coming from industry, academia, public institutions and NGOs alike. Organized annually in Luxembourg, it focuses on refreshing and developing the participants’ management and leadership skills.

Participants develop:

– A wide range of leadership styles

– Approaches for building personal impact and reputation

– Strategies for effective communication with funders, managers, and collaborators

– Practical influencing tools for commercial and academic environment

– Confidence in negotiations

– Tactics to deal with difficult conversations and conflicts

The program is designed for ambitious professionals with minimum 6-10 years of experience. Candidates must hold a Senior Manager position in food or health sectors, and a MSc or PhD in a relevant subject. The seminar is open to both ENLP Alumni and new members. Applications are especially encouraged from countries under-represented in the ENLP, like Eastern and Central, and, to a lesser extent, Southern Europe. Preference will be given to candidates older than 35.
