Building for the future - Connecting industry experience with academic expertise
-
This is a past event
Join us on Thursday 6 November at the University of Aberdeen's Suttie Centre to hear about the pioneering research carried out at the University in food and drink, environment and food security.
We are seeking to encourage more collaboration between local food and drink companies and the University of Aberdeen, including academics from the Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health (RINH) and various other schools (Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Engineering, and Computing Sciences). The event will include talks from prominent academics within the University to an audience of key food and drink industry contacts.
