About Us
CeDiSA: a Research Centre for the world of food
CeDiSA, Centro Studi sul Diritto e le Scienze dell'Agricoltura, alimentare e ambiente, was born from the aggregation of academics, professionals, companies and public institutions operating in the agricultural, food and environmental areas.
​
It aims to provide an open, free, inclusive and scientific discussion forum to explore the topics of greatest interest and actuality in the aforementioned fields.
​
​
Who we are
CeDiSA was born from the initiative of five Italian universities, determined to create a tool for permanent dialogue between the science and law of agriculture, food, and the environment:
- University of Eastern Piedmont (UniUPO – lead partner);
- University of Turin (UniTO);
- University of Milan Statale (UniMI);
- University of Ferrara (UniFE);
- University of Florence (UniFI);
- University of Pisa (UniPI).
​
Together with academics, the Centre brings food professionals such as lawyers, business consultants, biologists, doctors, pharmacists, chemists.
​
Food companies and public institutions are also members of the Research Centre.
​
Our mission is to create a network of academics and practitioners working in the agri-food supply chain and dealing with all aspects of safety, quality, innovation and environmental impact of food and agricultural production.
​
We are aiming for strong relationships with stakeholders, to build together a network of knowledge and activities useful for research, training and dissemination of scientific know-how.
​
For this reason, every year we carry out a programme of monthly meetings for discussion and updating, we support the creation of an inter-sectoral scientific journal (ALIMENTA), and we have created a working group on scientific research to participate in Italian and European calls for tenders in the relevant sectors.
