Department of Food Science (UCPH FOOD)

UCPH FOOD Alumni and Friends Network

Participate in events on current food research, meet other alumni and former fellow students and build an inspiring network.

UCPH FOOD Alumni and Friends network is open for graduates, students and friends of FOOD who wish to stay in contact, stay updated and participate in events.

As part of the network you have a unique opportunity to stay updated on recent research in the field, stay in touch with the department and build a network that can inspire you when you’re faced with career choices.

We will organise about two yearly events, which we will advertise for in the newsletter and on this site. In addition, SCIENCE will organise one to two yearly half-day events on interdisciplinary subjects such as sustainability.
