Who we are

Building a network to educate the future change makers in the food industry

Fooder is an ambitious project aimed at bringing about a change in the design and development of university courses to meet the educational needs of professional figures capable of addressing current and future challenges in the agri-food sector.

Fooder stems from the collaboration of various entities aspiring to create an international model, an example of virtuous integration between research, production, and education.
 

The project involves five universities (University of Parma, which coordinates the project, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, University of Bologna Alma Mater, University of Ferrara, and Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Piacenza), which have formed an association in collaboration with businesses and public entities.
 

Among our prestigious collaborators are the Emilia-Romagna Region and the Clust-ER Agri-food, as well as significant companies in the agri-food sector that are a source of pride for our region.
 

Our goal is to promote increasingly closer and robust cooperation, involving a growing number of companies and entities rooted in the territory and the agri-food sector. This will enable us to jointly develop new international training programs in English for future professionals, through open dialogue, knowledge sharing, and the contribution of international experts.

 

We are open to new collaboration proposals from local agri-food companies and invite those interested to contact us through the dedicated form. Join us in this important project to further consolidate our efforts.
