UNISG

The University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo, founded and promoted in 2004 by the international association Slow Food with the collaboration of the regions of Piedmont and Emilia Romagna, is a non-state university legally recognized by the Italian state. The university trains gastronomes, new professional figures who have interdisciplinary knowledge and skills in the field of science, culture, politics, economy and ecology of food and are able to develop values such as the sustainability and sovereignty of global food systems, including all phases, from production to consumption. The keystone of what can be defined as a gourmet is the deep understanding of food as a value and its important role in creating and shaping society.
