Welcome to the Nutrimenthe Project

Nutrimenthe is a research project funded by the European Commission through its 7th Framework Programme. The project is looking at the role that diet plays in the mental performance of children. The project, which began on the 1st March 2008 involves scientists from 19 organisations from nine countries worldwide. It is being coordinated by Professor Cristina Campoy from the University of Granada, Spain, and will run for five years.
