Secondment of Roberto González Novas from DomusVi (Geriatros SAU-Spain) to Lund University (Sweden)
As part of the FOCIAC project, I was seconded to Lund University (Sweden) in February-March 2023
During my visit, I was hosted by the research group led by Juscelino Tovar and Anne Nilsson, and I took part in a number of activities connected to the planning and development of clinical intervention studies, such as:
- Experimental kitchen for the preparation of test meals
- Participation in blood sampling for the measurements of different biomarkers
- Visit the pilot plant of the Department of Food Technology and Nutritional
- Visit the sensory analysis lab
- Meeting with Ros-Marie Nilsson, manager of the Home Care for the Elderly of Lund Municipality
- Meeting with Dr Damien Motte from the I.K. Design Center-Lund University, coordinating research projects on 3D-printing of food
In addition to my trip, I could visit the cities of Lund and Malmö in Sweden as well as Copenhagen in Denmark.
