Food Day @ETH Workshops
Food Day @ETH 2022 kicked off with workshops in the afternoon, focusing on scientific topics as well as the role of education and communication in building future food systems.
Future proteins for sustainable food systems
11 November 2022
14:30 – 16:30 CET
Main Building, ETH Zurich
For researchers, industry, start-ups & investors with expert knowledge or interest in the new protein sources.
The protein sector is in the midst of rapid development. There is a need to accelerate the diversification of protein sources that are sustainable, scalable, and benefit consumers health. In this workshop, we will hear from ETH Zurich scientists and start-ups about new innovative approaches in the future protein sector. Participants will also have the opportunity to discuss and share their views on some of the most pressing challenges.
Speakers:
Ashley Green, Sustainable Food Processing, ETH Zürich
Mingqin Li, Future Food Fellow, Laboratory of Food and Soft Materials, ETH Zürich
Tobias Kistler, Co-Founder and R&D Lead, Luya
Eliana Zamprogna, Co-Founder Yumame Foods
Tomas Turner, Co-Founder Cultivated Bioscience
In collaboration with the external page Swiss Food and Nutrition Valley
Community building for food system leaders
11 November 2022
14:30 – 16:30 CET
Main Building, ETH Zurich
For researchers, educators & students interested in fostering an active community.
Dive into the process of community building during this workshop. We will explore the case study of the World Food System Center alumni network (WFSN). We will share steps that have been taken to develop and grow this community, and we will discuss what worked well and what we learned along the journey. You will receive tools to start and strengthen your own community. And, of course, learn how to join our very active WFSN community of change makers in the food system!

Science communication for #changemakers
11 November 2022
14:30 – 16:30 CET
Main Building, ETH Zurich
For researchers interested in sharing their work with the public in order to drive change.
We will begin the workshop by focusing on what you, as a scientist, want to say. We will provide a social media 101, targeting where to start and how to get attention. For change to occur, researchers need their results to be put into practice. They need to convince industry, NGOs, agricultural extension services, or government agencies that their results are applicable for use.
Communication specialist Helga Rietz from the ETH Zurich AI Center joins us to introduce opinionated writing, what it is, and the need for it to communicate science for change. ETH scientist Robert Huber will share his own experiences as a #ScienceTwitter user and frequent blog writer.
Join us to try your hand at science communication for change.
