✦ Synopsis

The interviewees are national delegates of the COST Action 926 from the Netherlands, Germany and Austria and coordinators of the Focus Group-2, Working Group-3 and Working Group-4 (for further information see http:// www.ueb.cas.cz/COST926).

The COST Action 926 focuses on a central field in current nutrition research. It covers the effects of bioactive plant food compounds on human health and their possible role in disease prevention. It encompasses not only the highly topical field of gene regulation by selected bioactive compounds but also problems regarding the bioavailability of these compounds, a pivotal factor in the development of their beneficial activity in humans. For these reasons MNF wanted to gain more information on the concept of this COST action and on any outcomes which might be of special interest to the broad scientific public.
