FOODBIZ - University and business learning for new employability paths in food and gastronomy

FOODBIZ aims at promoting acquisition of relevant skills and competences related to employability in higher education students through their active involvement in community learning activities. This will allow them a) to learn in context; b) to establish links with enterprises and other stakeholders of the territory to which the university belongs; c) to understand the economic strengths and opportunities of the territory in relation to agri-food and food tourism; d) to reflect about their own competences, motivations, and ambitions; e) to contribute to community development and job creation. FOODBIZ supports then innovation and creativity of students and all players involved through regional partnership: the project aims in fact at promoting co-creation of knowledge between students, business players, researchers/universities, other stakeholders concerned, and policy makers for local development in the field of agri-food and food tourism.
