Food&HealthLab is a new research concept focused on users and supported in the open innovation and real scenarios.

This initiative includes a series of actions to promote health, healthy and sustainable food strategies, nutritional intervention and improvement of the quality of life within the branches of the Universitat, at a local, national and international level. It is aimed, on the one hand, to carry out health interventions in an interdisciplinary environment (with dietitians, nutritionists, food technologists, psychologists, geneticists, experts in preventive medicine, physiotherapist and experts in physical and sport activities), to increase the gastronomic and culinary strategies to adapt menus to individuals and/or patients and developing teams, methods and new tools in health environments, nutrition, gastronomy, physical activity and quality of life with applicability to society.

Food&HealthLab is a space with the suitable conditions of active participation to know the social reality of health and food. Food&Health Living-Lab (Food&HealthLabLL) is the Living-Lab of the Universitat de València specialised in health, nutrition, physical activity and gastronomy that is part of the European Network of Living Labs (ENOLL).

It arises as an initiative of the Policies for Excellence Office (OPEX) of the University of Valencia and is funded by the institutional innovation programme of the OPEX and by the programme to promote innovative ecosystems of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports through the VLC/CAMPUS, Campus of International Excellence programme.
