The Food Research & Innovation Center (FRIC) has started its activities ! Join us on 2 October for the inauguration event, which will take place at the University of Fribourg.

The event will start at around 2pm for an afternoon dedicated to the science of food. A very comprehensive program has been developed and will feature a number of renowned speakers on fascinating topics such as:

- How can science help us brew the perfect cup of coffee?
- Why do we like high-fat, high-sugar foods so much, and what happens in our brains when we eat these foods ?
- What are the health benefits of seafood and what is the impact of increasing marine pollution ?

You will also discover the research carried out within the FRIC and the importance of the link between the structure of foods and their properties - the example of well-known products will be explored.

Participation in the afternoon's scientific program is free and open to all! Please register using the registration form below to secure your place.
