The “NEXT GENERATION FOOD PACKAGING – materials, machines and processes for proper management of food safety and sustainability” event, organized by CIRI Agroalimentare of the University of Bologna, takes place on Friday 17 December in Cesena at 10.00.
The meeting will see important interventions by key players in the construction of a collaborative network between research and training institutions and companies in our regional territory.
The confrontation will see, among others, the participation of the Rector of the University of Bologna, the Mayor of Cesena, the Councilor of the Emilia-Romagna Region Paola Salomoni, the President of the Regional Clust-ER AGRIFOOD, the President of Ser.In .Ar. / Tecnopolo di Forlì-Cesena and the operational director of Art-ER, aims to illustrate how packaging is a fundamental element for sustainability and food safety. Its evolutions in terms of new materials, machinery and processes, described by CIRI and directly by the companies that actively collaborate with industrial research laboratories, will have to actively contribute to the design of intervention lines that are part of the new regional planning period in the wake of the “Research and innovation strategy for smart specialization” which coincides with the restart phase and the disbursement of the PNRR resources.
The event will be in attendance at the Great Hall of the Food Science Campus – Piazza Gabriele Goidanich 60, CESENA.
Registration is mandatory and takes place by sending an e-mail to cirifood@unibo.it
