EFSET - cod. 20091 - EITFOOD Education BP2020

The European Food Systems Educa􀆟on and Training (EFSET) programme addresses the increasingly challenging array of food-related problems, such as food waste or malnutri􀆟on. Through mul􀆟disciplinary and collabora􀆟ve approaches that simultaneously target different parts of the food system, the course gives postgraduate students the confidence and skills necessary to bring about posi􀆟ve change. Building on the first year of the programme, EFSET provides students at European universi􀆟es unique and exci􀆟ng opportuni􀆟es to address real-world Food System Challenges set by industry partners. Through a series of innova􀆟ve, on-line modules and face-to-face skills workshops, as well as opportuni􀆟es to par􀆟cipate in a fully-funded interna􀆟onal Away Weekend and a Summer School, students receive training in food systems analysis and interven􀆟on strategies, and experience the challenges of interdisciplinary teamwork. Having par􀆟cipated in this training, EFSET students will enter the workplace able to demonstrate an enhanced professionalism through combining strategic food systems thinking with the technical skills developed through their postgraduate studies.
