European Federation of the Associations of Dietitians

The European Federation of the Associations of Dietitians (EFAD) was established in 1978 and aims to:

• Promote the development of the dietetic profession
• Develop dietetics on a scientific and professional level in the common interest of the member associations
• Facilitate communication between national dietetic associations and other organisations – professional, educational, and governmental
• Encourage a better nutrition situation for the population of the member countries of Europe.

Membership of the Federation is open all National Associations of Dietitians from member states of Europe and Higher Education Institutes worldwide that teach dietetics.
