NUTRIAGE aims to initiate an exploratory study on healthy aging across geographically, socio-economically and environmentally different countries such as the Czech Republic, Iceland, and Spain. By forming an inter-university consortium, NUTRIAGE will analyse how the relationship between nutrition, health and environment/context is articulated in older adults, considering their general living situations and the social determinants that condition access to adequate food.
The NUTRIAGE project contributes to understanding healthy aging by examining the relationship between nutrition, health, and the environment in older adults across diverse geographic and socioeconomic contexts. It supports SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by addressing systemic barriers to adequate nutrition. SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) is advanced by improving health outcomes for older adults through public health strategies. The project promotes SDG 4 (Quality Education) by fostering education on nutrition and aging and supports SDG 5 (Gender Equality) by encouraging women's participation in research. It also addresses SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by promoting sustainable living environments. Lastly, global collaboration strengthens SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

- Visit to the Palacký University of Olomouc for the meeting of the NUTRIAGE24 project
The international project meeting was held in November 2025 at Palacký University Olomouc. It brought together researchers from all three partner institutions to discuss the project's objectives, methodology, progress, and future research activities. The two-day meeting was attended by representatives of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Spain, Mabel Gracia, Claudia Anleu and Isabella Riccò, and Ólöf Guðný Geirsdóttir from the Icelandic. The meeting was supported by Aurora Alliance, the management of the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Rectorate of Palacký University. The meeting provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen collaboration among partners and coordinate the next phases of the project.
