About the Prize

Since the first edition in 2017, the Danone International Prize for Alimentation (“DIPA”) has evolved from the former Danone International Prize for Nutrition (“DIPN”) created in 1996.  The name change is in recognition of the need for innovative and collaborative approaches that consider the diverse influences on people’s food choices and eating habits – including economic, social, psychological and cultural factors – collectively known as “Alimentation”.

The DIPA is open to mid-career emerging leaders in the field, and rewards pioneering research that spans multiple disciplines and represents a major advance in Alimentation.

The purpose of the DIPA is to encourage and support cutting edge, innovative and multidisciplinary scientific research in Alimentation.

“Alimentation” is the umbrella term for sustainable eating and drinking practices that contribute to the health of individuals, including food choice, purchase, preparation, cooking and meal organization, and their determinants. The DIPA is intended to raise the profile of a mid-career researcher and accelerate his or her career, as well as help develop knowledge on the topic and inspire junior researchers.

The DIPA will recognize the work of a single researcher, or a representative of a research team who is leading and pioneering a collaborative approach in Alimentation.

The DIPA is open to mid-career research scientists from a variety of scientific disciplines within Alimentation, including behavioral science, sociology, anthropology, psychology, environmental science, economics, and cultural studies.

To summarize, the DIPA aims to:

• advance understanding of Alimentation through cutting edge research;
• encourage and inspire pioneering advances that integrate lifestyle, cultural, socio-economic and environmental approaches into research on sustainable diets;
• boost collaboration between the different disciplines affecting nutrition, from psychology to economics; and
• support talented and highly motivated mid-career researchers whose work contributes to scientific excellence in the field of Alimentation.
