We accomplish this by leveraging Emilia Romagna's vast heritage of study, research and excellence in the agri-food industry while also cultivating new talents. We equip students with skills, empower entrepreneurs, foster research collaborations and facilitate mutual exchange of expertise.
By means of interactive education models, we bridge academia and industry to foster innovation. We seek to promote positive policy influences and aspire to become a reference point in food, nutrition, health, and sustainability.
At the present time, Fooder offers a master's degree programme and a second-level master's programme.
The master's program in Food Safety and Food Risk Management is an example of excellence in advanced education on food with an international focus. Our students are constantly growing and come from all parts of the world.
Fooder works alongside top players in the agri-food sector, actively involving them in the development of training programmes and ensuring a steady supply of highly skilled personnel.
In addition, Fooder strives to support the growth of our production chains by fostering the emergence of innovative businesses in the food sector, including service and product providers, as well as technology startups and public-private partnerships.
Fooder is an evolving project. We are trying to expand our network of collaborations to include all the Emilia-Romagna players who espouse this vision and crave to bring added value to the project. What are the advantages for participating companies?
