Community

A community of practice connecting nutrition data analysts, researchers, and practitioners to learn together and strengthen the real-world impact of nutrition data.

The nutriverse community of practice brings together nutrition data analysts, researchers, and practitioners who are committed to learning from one another and improving how nutrition data is analysed and applied. It provides a shared space to exchange methods, tools, and real-world experiences across research, policy, and practice. Through peer learning, collaborative problem-solving, and open discussion, the community supports rigorous, reproducible analytics while staying grounded in practical impact. The goal is to strengthen individual practice, build collective capacity, and advance better nutrition decisions through better use of data.

Community calls

Join us in our quarterly Community Calls to hear about the latest nutriverse developments, talk about current and new projects by nutriverse or by our community members, discuss best practices, and listen to Q&As with our nutriverse developers or well-known developers of packages and tools that our community members love to use. Each community call is a rich resource with a video recording and collaborative notes.

We aim to make our Community Calls truly representative of the diversity that exists in the nutriverse community. We name each call with a term or phrase for “community” used in the different countries represented in nutriverse and we theme the programme based on the concept that this term represents.

Our first community call will be on 18th of March 2026 and we have themed this call around katilingban ([ka-ti-ling-ban]), a word for community, society, or group from the Cebuano or Bisaya language spoken in parts of the Visayas and Mindanao regions of the Philippines.

Community chat and forum

We offer our community a forum for discussing, connecting, and collaborating. We are fortunate to have been gifted with sponsored hosting by Zulip, an organised team chat app designed for efficient communication.

The publicly-available forum can be viewed at https://nutriverse.zulipchat.com where you can see topics that the community talks about and the progress and updates on the projects that we are working on. To join the discussion, you will need to be invited to join the community chat group on Zulip which are usually handed out during or after a nutriverse-led event. If you would like to join the nutriverse community chat group on Zulip but have not had the chance to be invited, please send us a message via our contacts page requesting an invite.
