I.S.L.E ASSO to be a partner in a new
ERASMUS + project
The
I.S.L.E Association has not missed the opportunity to jump onto the new Erasmus
+ bandwagon and will be part of a “Strategic Partnerships” project entitled
“Eating Cities” which, if selected will be coordinated by the company “RISTECO”
http://www.risteco.it/
The aim of
the project is to involve students, researchers, university teachers,
practitioners of public service and private companies in the definition of the
professional profile and skills of a “Sustainable Food Manager” as these SFM
are needed by local/regional authorities, private companies to implement and
foster the transition towards sustainable food systems.
