Partners and stakeholders

MNI highly values its partners4 , and promotes their work through collaboration, fruitful interactions, funding, communication and dissemination.

MNI operates in full cooperation with, and support to, other European organisations focusing either on disease-specific issues, or representing patient groups, specific age groups, or activities/professions in relation to medical nutrition.

Depending on the internal settings and governance of the other parties, and on MNI’s interests, MNI may take part in the projects developed by external parties, or financially support their projects without participating, if they are in line with MNI’s objectives and priorities.

MNI will specifically engage in the next five years with organisations representing: cancer stakeholders patients general and specialist nurses carers nutritionists and dietitians general practitioners geriatricians gastroenterologists other specialise doctors, e.g intensivists or oncologists pharmacists: community, clinical and hospital hospital and community sectors organisations
