The University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo, founded in 2004 by Slow Food together with the Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna regions, is a legally recognized non-state university with a strong international vocation.
Over time, it has expanded its academic offer and student community, developing an original educational model that integrates study, practice, and study trips worldwide.
The university trains gastronomes—interdisciplinary professionals with scientific, cultural, economic, and political expertise—capable of understanding food systems from production to consumption and promoting sustainability and cultural diversity.
To date, more than 4,000 students have attended or are currently attending the university.
