Conference "New Nordic Food"

The Nordic Council of Ministers, in co-operation with Nordic Innovation, invites you to a conference about the potential and future of Nordic Food. The focus of the conference will be on one particular feature of the Nordic welfare model - eating outside home in our institutional foodscapes such as schools, hospitals and canteens. This topic is also approached from the viewpoint of climate, which is the theme of the Finnish presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers. The first conference day culminates with a dinner in form of an exciting food event directed by Matti Jämsen, Finland's chef in Bocuse d'Or 2011.

The conference offers an excellent opportunity to meet with stakeholders from the Nordic food chain for discussions on how to utilise the potential of Nordic cuisine. With the help of social media, the conference will be reaching a new level of interactiveness. There will also be several events, such as a poster exhibition, a Nordic food court and taste education workshop, which will bring the experience of Nordic cuisine closer to the conference guests.

The conference contains both plenary programme and specific programme for three subsections; Food, Children & Health, Public Foodscapes, and Nordic Oat Days 2011.
