Pufendorf & Friends is a series of open discussions and After Works organised by the Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies at Lund University

Food involves everybody and concerns many aspects of life. On one level it provides the fuel for our bodies, and proper nutrition is essential for good health. But food is also central to our culture, where the meal is an important platform for social interaction and food is an integral part of festivities and celebrations. At the same time the food sector is an important driver of science and innovation for a more healthy and sustainable society.

Welcome to a conversation with experts approaching food from different disciplinary perspectives.  The discussion focuses on how culture, medicine and technology work together towards healthy, appealing and sustainable food that is available to all.

"What's on the Menu?"

  • Conversation about cultural and scientific trends and advancements in the food and health sector.
  • Mingle with colleagues from Lund university
  • Drinks and snacks with a "taste of Lund"

  • Tommy Nylander, Professor in Physical Chemistry with a past in Food Technology. His research deals with nano scale structures in life science, including food, where he use neutron and x-ray scattering to provide new insight. He's the leader of the Northern Lights on Food theme at LINXS.
