RIS SUMMER SCHOOL – TRANSPARENT FOOD CHAINS

The Inspire Programme will raise awareness in RIS countries on global food challenges and provide trainings on the latest innovations in Food & Agriculture.

Challenges in today’s Food System are complex and interconnected. To address them, digital innovative solutions along the entire value chain are required: digitalisation of traceability can improve the safety, efficiency, value and sustainability of food chains and increase consumer trust.
This summer school therefore responds to the need of creating more transparent food chains in a new circular economy. With the support of experts in the field, great industry partners and competent mentors, students will learn to develop their entrepreneurial skills and to identify the opportunities to build new businesses solutions that would meet demands for transparency.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

Over a period of 3 weeks, from 4 October 2021 to 22 October 2021, the course will provide a dynamic and supportive environment for you to learn the entrepreneurship basics and develop new ventures in the food chains. The summer school will be delivered in e-learning mode, with a mix of asynchronous and synchronous events and talks, including teamwork sessions and idea labs.
