My name is Andrea Romano, and I am a research scientist at Fondazione Edmund Mach, Italy. Together with Franco Biasioli, head of our research team, we are developing a collaborative project which has successfully passed the first stage of evaluation. The project focuses on the development of new healthy and sustainable plant-based food products.

As we prepare for the second round, we are exploring the possibility of expanding our consortium. In particular, we'd like to increase the consortium capabilites in the area of dissemination, exploitation and communication of scientific results. The call allows for the inclusion of an additional partner from the following countries and regions.

Basque Country, Belgium, Lithuania, Romania, the Netherlands, Turkyie

If your company/research institution is based in any of these countries and regions, you have the right skills and you are intrerested in joining us, do not hesitate to reach out!

The Edmund Mach Foundation promotes and carries out education and training, scientific research, and experimental activities as well as providing technical assistance to companies in the agri-food and environmental areas. Our research unit (Sensory Quality, https://sensorylab.fmach.it/) seeks to understand the mechanisms of sensory perception and investigates the physiological and psychological factors that influence the development of food preferences and consumer behavior to support sustainable food choices that promote health and well-being. Our research strategy is based on the integration of innovative techniques (sensory, instrumental, and statistical) for the characterization of products and processes in the agri-food sector to contribute to the enhancement of food production, product innovation, and the development of new technologies.
