Boosting Academia in Transition to Sustainable Food Systems

Boosting the Role of Academia in Transition to Sustainable Food Systems is the third and final online event of the year organised by Una Europa Seed Funding project, INSTIL (The role of academia in transition to sustainable food systems).

The project has connected five leading European research universities: the University of Helsinki, the University of Edinburgh, the Complutense University of Madrid, the University of Bologna and the Free University of Berlin, and started an interdisciplinary, multi-stakeholder dialogue on the role of academia in sustainable food systems. Each university has contributed to the webinars by bringing its own knowledge, best practices and expertise and involved senior academics, early-stage researchers and public/private stakeholders.

The webinars have been embedded in an open environment to ensure appropriate opportunities for cross-fertilisation, transparency and the rising of new ideas between disciplines through a multidisciplinary approach. Involved researchers will analyze the outcomes of the online events and will write a joint scientific publication.
