About this Event

It is with great pleasure that BGI invites you for the EAT Circular Portuguese Online Workshops, an event that will bring together entrepreneurs, experts, researchers, SME's and corporates interested/working in the food industry.

BGI is organising an interactive and hands-on online workshop, gathering experts from the food industry. The aim is to boost knowledge sharing by promoting good practices in food waste management and on how to make the food supply chain more sustainable, innovative, and healthier.

This initiative is under the European project - EAT Circular, financed by EIT Climate-KIC, being delivered by a Consortium of Portuguese, Italian, Slovenian and Spanish partners. This workshop will also have the participation of EIT Food. The sessions will be mostly in Portuguese, although there may be sessions in English.

You can be part of all days or just one, according to your availability. The sessions are free to attend. Once your registration is confirmed you will receive the links and schedule for the event.
