University of Gastronomic Sciences

The University of Gastronomic Sciences, founded in 2004 by the international non-profit association Slow Food in cooperation with the Italian regions of Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna, is a ministerially recognized, private non-profit institution.

Its goal is to create an international research and education center for those working on renewing farming methods, protecting biodiversity, and building an organic relationship between gastronomy and agricultural science.

The University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG) boasts a research specialization focused on the multidisciplinarity that characterizes the gastronomic context. The methodological approach springs from the university’s founding principles, and is therefore based on the issues of sustainable food as a form of sustenance and of improvement of the planet’s human and natural conditions.
