Inauguration of the Generating Ideas Programme on Smart Food

15/10/2019

Smart food is understood as food based on healthy foods through personal awareness. They are foods that increase their quality through the application of new technologies. In this context, the scientific community has defined four challenges in this field: reduction of food waste, reduction of plastics in the different stages of the agri-food chain, decrease the use of antibiotics in livestock production, and promote personalised nutrition.

The inauguration will take place at 10 a.m. at the Sala Polivalent of the UAB Research Park and be offered by Vice Rector for Innovation and Strategic Projects Javier Lafuente and by the coordinator of the Generating Ideas programme Júlia Palma. Following their speeches will be a presentation of the challenges proposed by different businesses and ideas laboratories on which researchers, businesses and consumers have been working.

Thus, this 10th edition forms part of the broadest initiative to date and is part of the Higher European project. Another new aspect of this year's edition is, apart from choosing the top innovative project, which will receive a cash prize and six month in the UAB Research Park incubator, the final phase of the programme will also be dedicated to choosing the UAB Open Labs project. The project that obtains the UAB Open Lab Prize at the final competition of the Ideas Generation Program will participate in the last stage of the programme, the validation and prototyping.
