On 25th June, the annual meeting of Spoke 4 will be held at the University of Milan. This event aims to review the progress of the Work Packages, and thus the research activities of the Spoke. The research projects under Spoke 4 aim to improve the quality of food and nutrition to meet the needs and expectations of modern consumers.
This includes reformulating food, using innovative and sustainable technologies, and designing new foods while considering emerging interindividual features that drive personalised nutrition.
The focus is on promoting consumer health through improved food, diet, and nutrition, while also taking into account the large inter-individual variability of response to the diet and promoting careful personalisation of consumption.
- On Tuesday, 25th June
- From 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM
- University of Milan, Department of Food, Environmental and Nutritional Sciences (DeFENS, via Mangiagalli, 25, Milan), room C03.

After the greetings from the president of the OnFoods Foundation, Daniele Del Rio, and the introduction by Spoke 4 leader, Patrizia Riso, each Work Package will present its research activities.
