In order to promote the studies of Human Nutrition and Dietetics and Food Science and Technology among high school students, as well as to encourage high school research that links the different sciences with the daily realities of food and gastronomy , the University of Barcelona has been calling, since 2009, a prize for research work in high school and higher education courses that deal with aspects related to nutrition and the world of food.
The University of Barcelona and Ferran Adrià, named Doctor Honoris Causa in 2007 and one of the leading figures in world cuisine, agreed that the award bears his name. The Prize, born in 2009, as a result of the agreement between the University of Barcelona and Ferran Adrià, was later extended with the financing of Gallina Blanca.
Deadline for submission of papers: until June 7
