As part of the FOSTER Project, the Centre for Studies in European and International Affairs (CSEIA) at the University of Parma organises and promotes thematic seminars dedicated to food security and the sustainability of food systems.
The seminars involve researchers from the FOSTER Lab, together with scholars, professionals, and institutional representatives from Italy and abroad, with the aim of fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and disseminating research outcomes.
The meetings take place at the University of Parma, or in hybrid/online format, and are open to students, institutional partners, and the general public.
For the 2025/26 academic year, several seminars have been scheduled on the topics of the right to food, food supply chains in Europe, and food security.
