At our stand, academics, students and specialists from the University of Lodz Centre for Technology Transfer jointly demonstrated specific paths for cooperation between science and business. During the discussions, we presented the benefits and opportunities arising from such partnerships, highlighting areas for joint projects.
NATURA FOOD fair is not only a key national event promoting organic and traditional food, but also a platform for numerous accompanying events, including lectures, workshops and demonstrations. Our scientists had the opportunity to speak, sharing their knowledge during lectures and we prepared additional, fascinating attractions at our stand.
