Reminder: Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme, Italy

The 3rd edition of DS-FOOD summer school on “Design of sustainable food systems” arises from the growing attention that the issue of sustainability of food systems has gained at the international level. It will be held in the framework of a Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme with a virtual component on 19 June 2023 and a physical mobility.

The Farm-to-Fork strategy launched by the European Union in 2020 brings agri-food issues to the heart of the European Green Deal, pushing for a transition of food systems towards a condition of sustainability that can lead to environmental, social, and economic benefits. This approach aims to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (especially SDG 12: sustainable production and consumption).

The programme is organised by University of Tuscia (Viterbo, Italy), in partnership with Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Uppsala, Sweden), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (Wien, Austria), Harokopio University of Athens (Greece), and Münster University of Applied Sciences (Germany). The summer school will be held at the UNITUS Alpine Studies Centre, located in the small village of Pieve Tesino, in the Dolomites of Trentino, Italy.

Application deadline for BOKU students: 20 April 2023
