Food digestion : in vitro methodologies and future challenges Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme – April to July 2025

L’ Institut Agro in association with INRAE, STLO and the INFOGEST network will host the 2nd joint intensive program dedicated to “food digestion: in vitro methodologies and future challenges”. This program is funded by the European Union's Erasmus + program and has been built in collaboration with the European universities of Leuven, Copenhagen, Wageningen and Gdansk.

20 European PhD students (10 universities, 9 countries) have been selected to take part in this program, which will run from April to July 2025. It will include a mix of online seminars, physical lectures and expert hands-on work on in vitro digestion, and will help students build their own international network. The physical mobility will take place in Rennes from June 20 to 27, 2025.  Lectures will be given by professors and scientists from the Institut Agro/INRAE (STLO/OPAALE), Wageningen University, Leuven University, Copenhagen University and Gdansk University of Technology. Students will receive hands-on training in enzyme and digesta characterization from STLO's bioactivity and nutrition team.  A digestion experiment under magnetic resonance imaging will also be carried out thanks to our collaboration with the OPAALE laboratory (Equipe IRM-Food), INRAE.
