Once a month, all Master's research project and final-year students come together for a joint research group meeting.
This is a space to openly share ideas and challenges, present your own project results and support each other in their academic work.

Semester projects are regularly offered in the area of nutritional status.
These currently comprise two specialisations: the testing of new methods for surveying nutritional status and the development of a database of existing survey procedures.

In the LZP in Nutritional Science and Digital Studies, the group itself designs what is worked on - the participants decide together on the specialisations.

This includes testing apps, conducting online surveys and developing digital formats such as Moodle courses or podcasts.

Current topics:

• Food waste
• Social media and mental health
• Gut and mental health
• Digital marketing of supplements
• Chronic diseases: how can I inform myself & connect

The LZP is aimed exclusively at students on the Nutrition Sciences degree programme.

Current topics:

• Inpatient nutrition therapy
• Nutrition and nutrition education in schools and daycare centres
