About PAN Austria

The Physicians Association for Nutrition Austria (PAN Austria) was founded in 2021 as part of the PAN International network. Our goal is to raise awareness of the impact of healthy (evidence-based) nutrition. Healthcare professionals are often not sufficiently informed about the benefits of a healthy diet for disease prevention.

By addressing healthcare professionals as well as universities and students, PAN Austria aims to give greater visibility to the findings and advances of lifestyle medicine. Furthermore, this will be achieved by providing evidence-based information to the general public and patients and by expanding our (inter)national network.

Our Goals

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Educating students and empowering healthcare professionals to use whole food, plant-based nutrition as first-line management for treatment and prevention of NCDs, thus, eventually reducing diet-related deaths, lowering the environmental footprint, and preserving the biodiversity of the planet.

RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS

Creating public awareness is the first step towards building a healthy nation and a healthy world. PAN Austria focuses on media advocacy, conducting webinars and events to spread awareness about the power of plant-based nutrition to prevent, manage and reverse diseases.

PARTNERSHIPS WITH ORGANISATIONS

Expansion of our (inter)national network for better integration of knowledge about sustainable healthy nutrition, within the framework of programmes and projects of various associations, companies and NGOs through intensive partnerships and cooperations in Austria.
