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.

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:20251016T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20251016T170000 DTSTAMP:20260503T185556 CREATED:20251007T114416Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251007T114928Z UID:10000220-1760630400-1760634000@swissfoodnutritionvalley.com SUMMARY:How AI & Self-Driving Labs Are Shaping the Future of R&D Teams DESCRIPTION:Self-driving labs are no longer a vision of the future\, they’re already transforming how R&D is done.

How can we align recommendations for sustainable nutrition with local sourcing and production? \nWhat obstacles must be overcome to comply with the food pyramid and the agri-food value chain? How can we reconcile the ecological footprint of our diets with the role of meat and the promotion of short supply chains? Can the “Feed no Food” principle reduce competition for resources\, and how can these efforts be integrated into climate plans? Finally\, how can a balanced\, carbon-neutral diet be reflected in gastronomy and retail offerings? Finding a balance requires rethinking production\, consumption\, and business practices at all levels. \nDuring this workshop\, we will:\n• Experience the challenges—together\, in the kitchen\n• Identify the obstacles and issues currently hindering transformation\n• Deepen our understanding of the complexity of our agri-food system\n• Identify key challenges and relevant stakeholders\n• Draft opportunity statements that pave the way for new momentum and value-based solutions \nWhy participate?\n• Join a vibrant\, multidisciplinary community passionately reshaping our food landscape\n• Gain deep insight and understanding of key barriers and their significant impacts\n• Find the right partners for an innovation project and access funding \nThis event is organized in collaboration with the Fondation Rurale Interjurassienne and will be held in French and German.

New scientific findings on the interactions between nutrition\, beauty and holistic health are driving the convergence of traditionally isolated industries. A new\, dynamic ecosystem with enormous growth potential is emerging at this interface. \nThe 5th International Food Innovation Conference will shed light on the rise of this integrated wellbeing market: from functional foods and science-based beauty products to personalised prevention concepts\, food\, healthcare and beauty are merging to create a new billion-dollar market. This transformation\, driven by the latest research findings and technological innovations\, is creating completely new value networks and offering companies unique opportunities to position themselves in this growth market. \nExperience how leading scientists\, entrepreneurs and thought leaders are shaping this development and discuss the following questions: \n– How can food innovations promote healthy ageing and deliver on the longevity promise?\n– How does microbiome analysis enable personalised health solutions?\n– How can upcycling of food by-products open up new beauty markets?\n– How are digital technologies creating holistic health experiences?\n– How are traditional distribution channels (e.g. supermarkets) becoming integrated wellbeing centres? \nThe conference is aimed at decision-makers from the food and beauty industry\, retail\, drugstores\, pharmacies\, hotels and healthcare who want to utilise the opportunities of this convergence for their business. Discover the future of a market whose growth potential is only just beginning to unfold – and find out how your company can benefit from this transformation. \nValley partners benefit from a 25% discount on the full participation fee (900 CHF instead of 1200 CHF).  URL:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/event-listing/5th-international-food-innovation-conference/ LOCATION:GDI Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute\, Langhaldenstrasse 21\, Rüschlikon\, 8803\, Switzerland ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ific25_CMYK_landscape.png ORGANIZER;CN="GDI Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute":MAILTO:info@gdi.ch END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20250617T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20250617T180000 DTSTAMP:20260503T185556 CREATED:20250522T090608Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250522T090608Z UID:10000206-1750154400-1750183200@swissfoodnutritionvalley.com SUMMARY:InnoFood & co 2025 DESCRIPTION:On 17 June 2025\, InnoFood & co returns for its 4th edition at Forum Fribourg.
