Our activities
The UNESCO Chair in World Food Systems carries out the following activities:
– Research: coordinate multidisciplinary research programs, particularly on the theme of urban food systems;
– Education: transferring scientific and technical knowledge through education and training, particularly in the context of the annual seminar and Honour Master’s Degree "Innovations and Policies for Sustainable Food" (IPAD);
– Sharing knowledge: setting up of conferences and debates between scientists, policy makers, business representatives and the general public.
The annual symposiums organized by the Chair aim to present the views of scientists, representatives of public and private sector agencies and civil society actors to spark discussions with an equally diverse audience and open up knowledge about food.

Through their disciplinary openness, the Chair’s training activities aim to enlighten students, teachers and researchers on sustainable food issues. They respond to a real need to place highly specialized and segmented knowledge into a global, comprehensive framework that gives purpose and meaning to professional activities focused on food.
These programs are also intended to expand the networks of everyone who identify with multidisciplinary and multisectoral openness by facilitating exchanges between students of various disciplines and involving professionals from diverse backgrounds (research, NGOs, private sector, public bodies, etc.).
