Food & Health 2023: The Smart Choice
Co-organised by the University of Lille (largest French university and in the top 100 European most innovative universities of the Times Higher Education ranking), the Institut Polytechnique UniLaSalle Beauvais (a prominent and most internationalised agro-food engineering school) and the International Academy (summer university for international students in Hauts-de-France), the research-oriented summer school Food & Health 2023 is a strong 60-hour training programme focusing on the fundamental aspects of agro-food processing, glycation, nutrition, health and longevity, in line with top-tier research centres and leading experts in non-enzymatic post-translational protein modifications and their effects on health.
Midway between Paris, London and Brussels, at the heart of a high-performance academic and economic hub that makes innovation a priority, Food & Health 2023 will provide high-standard English-taught classes, scientific immersion in the field, as well as an introduction to research through a supervised project. A smart opportunity to broaden your international experience under enjoyable conditions with fellow students worldwide.
Food & Health 2023 will build upon the successful Food & Health 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 France Excellence Summer Schools.
