Join Atinary and our partner\, 5-HT Chemistry and Health\, for a conversation to explore how AI-powered\, autonomous experimentation is being deployed in research labs today\, and what this means for the future. \nMeet the Experts:\n– Alexander Böser (Senior Innovation Lead Chemistry\, 5-HT Chemistry & Health)\n– Dr. Loïc Roch (Co-Founder and CTO\, Atinary Technologies) \nModerator:\n– Martina Löfqvist (Head of Alliances and Strategic Growth\, Atinary Technologies) \nIn this webinar\, our experts will discuss how self-driving labs speed up scientific discovery\, unlock breakthroughs that were previously out of reach\, and open new frontiers in materials science\, chemistry\, formulation\, and beyond. As the complexity of research challenges grows\, these technologies are becoming essential tools for driving faster\, smarter\, and more sustainable innovation. \nWhether you’re a scientist\, engineer\, or innovation leader\, this webinar offers a glimpse into the future of autonomous labs. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/event-listing/how-ai-self-driving-labs-are-shaping-the-future-of-rd-teams/ LOCATION:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/event-listing/how-ai-self-driving-labs-are-shaping-the-future-of-rd-teams/ CATEGORIES:Ecosystem event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Atinary-.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20251029T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20251029T120000 DTSTAMP:20260526T120437 CREATED:20250909T214319Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250909T214319Z UID:10000215-1761732000-1761739200@swissfoodnutritionvalley.com SUMMARY:The Longevity Equation: How Food Shapes a Healthier Future DESCRIPTION:Learn from experts about how diet and nutrition influences aging and connect with ecosystem players to explore smarter food solutions. \nModern diets are among the leading preventable causes of chronic illness and early death. At the same time\, science is uncovering how food can do far more than simply fuel us — it can promote long-term well-being and extend the years we live in good health. The challenge is clear: how do we reimagine food not as a passive commodity\, but as an active driver of health and longevity? \nIn this workshop\, we bring together leading voices from academia\, industry\, and start-ups to explore how diet can be understood as preventive medicine. We will ask how to distinguish credible science from hype when it comes to food and aging\, and how preventive strategies can be built into products and diets that people actually use in daily life. Together we will examine what it means to design food products that optimize health across the value chain\, from formulation to consumption\, and how processing and reformulation could be rethought to support – rather than undermine – long-term health. \nThe discussion will cover how to communicate credibly to consumers\, e.g. through labeling\, marketing\, and education\, while also exploring the collaborations\, policies\, and metrics needed to drive system-level change\, and how innovations like biotechnology and personalized nutrition can help bring science-based solutions from research to market at scale.Designed for researchers\, innovators\, start-ups\, and investors\, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to exchange insights and explore how food can shift from being part of the problem to becoming a fundamental solution for healthy longevity. \nWednesday\, 29 October 2025\n10:00 – 12:00 CET (+ Cook the Science Special Edition 18:00-19:15)\nLocation: ETH Zurich\, Main Building \nRegistration open: https://www.eventbrite.ch/e/the-longevity-equation-food-science-the-future-of-health-tickets-1639066936329?aff=oddtdtcreator URL:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/event-listing/the-longevity-equation-how-food-shapes-a-healthier-future/ LOCATION:ETH Zurich\, Rämistrasse 101\, Zürich\, 8092\, Switzerland ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_1110547123_2001175189373_1_original.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20251029T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20251029T170000 DTSTAMP:20260526T120437 CREATED:20250826T203004Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250826T203004Z UID:10000212-1761732000-1761757200@swissfoodnutritionvalley.com SUMMARY:ETHZ Food Day DESCRIPTION:We stand at a crossroads: either we change the way we produce and consume food\, or we fail to meet Agenda 2030’s Sustainable Development Goals. At Food Day 2025 at ETH Zurich\, all are encouraged to connect and inspire sustainable solutions for our food system. \nFocusing on the idea of Planting Healthier Nutrition\, participants dive into the latest food system research and engage in critical exchanges on timely issues. As co-creating ideas is at the core of sustainable change\, Food Day brings together diverse perspectives from science\, industry\, and policy with a program of interactive workshops\, expert-led sessions\, and\, of course\, a bit of cooking. \nIn a keynote\, Prof. Frank Ewert shares how pioneering methodologies like Living Labs can accelerate the transition toward a resilient food future. Additionally\, we are excited to announce a special Cook the Science-Food Day Edition\, from the lecture series led by our member Prof. Thomas Michaels. The session will feature chef Michaela Frank and Prof. Patrick Rühs\, who will together uncover the fascinating science behind the processing and cooking of plant proteins. \nWednesday\, 29 October 2025\n10:00 – 17:00 CET (+ Cook the Science Special Edition 18:00-19:15)\nLocation: ETH Zurich\, Main Building \nRegistration opens on 01 September 2025.
