The event will be geared primarily towards Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) from academic institutions and enterprises associated with the Action. Participants in the training school will have an opportunity harness food structure engineering and linked nutrition and microbial biotechnology insights to create biologically-inspired food, in the perspective to advance in human health and thereby revolutionizing the development of foods with health benefits. Fifteen selected ERSs will be trained on the role of food material properties in gastric digestion. The combined physical/nutritional approach will be explored in view of food designing for healthy benefits, as this understanding drives new product development. Cases will be presented to reshape the way to formulate, process and use healthy food following the path from fork to farm, to face the consumers' expectations from the food they will eat in the future. The school provides an opportunity for participants to increase their knowledge, experimental skills and experience transfer in the new product/process design approach of healthy foods which has been adopted by Action Food Structure Design.
