FIPDes is an international 2-year Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Food Innovation and Product Design.
To address the challenge of sustainable food production and consumption, FIPDes adopts a cross-disciplinary approach, integrating food science & technology, engineering and entrepreneurship to train international talents developing sustainable, healthy and accessible food solutions for the future generations, at local and global scale.
FIPDes is a two-year interdisciplinary master's degree (M1+M2), with compulsory international mobility.
FIPDes is supported by four European universities:
AgroParisTech (France), Technological University Dublin (Ireland), University of Naples Federico II (UNINA, Italy) and Lund University (LU, Sweden).
The first year covers key subjects such as food science and technology, sustainable foods, formulation engineering, marketing and culinary innovation, through courses taught in Paris and Dublin.
The second year offers three study tracks in key areas of innovation:
• Food Design & Engineering (AgroParisTech, FR)
• Food Packaging Design & Logistics (LU, SE)
• Healthy Food Design (UNINA, IT)
FIPDes has a dedicated website (www.fipdes.eu) where you can find all the information you need, as well as testimonials on international activities and the careers of former students.
