CULINARY ENTREPRENEURSHIP & KOMBUCHA TASTING

What is culinary entrepreneurship?

FOCUS is cohosting an event about food related start-ups from an academic platform together with Clever Coffee and Nordisk Kombucha.

The theme of this afternoon is culinary entrepreneurship. FOCUS presents 3 ‘culinary entrepreneurs’ that will talk about their experiences of combining academia, entrepreneurship and culinary innovation – and will tell about their way to start up a company.

Also the evening will focus on entrepreneurship within the humanities, and how entrepreneurship is also possible with a different academic background than business and/or economics - and importantly: what entrepreneurs with backgrounds in the humanities can bring to the table!

RETHINK EATING 2020:DIGITAL AND IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES

Welcome to the ReThink Eating 2020 Conference

The Food Quality Perception and Society Team at the Aarhus University Department of Food Science warmly welcomes you to our virtual conference.

This is not a traditional conference. We want to invite people from different backgrounds and disciplines to come together and brainstorm the future of eating. Due to the recent COVID crisis, it has been made clearer than before that we need to rethink not just what we eat, but also how we eat, and who we can share a meal with.

You are invited to join us in coming up with daring and creative solutions, and we want to hear your questions around pressing issues. In these increasingly serious times, we welcome the weird, wacky, and wonderful. Maybe even a sprinkling of magic.

We aim to address big questions like:

Why do people eat the way they do?
How does digital information influence our physical reality?
What role can technology play in creating new eating experiences?
How can we rethink what it means to eat together?
