Food Technology Centre Wins Award

08 August 2006

 

The Food Technology Centre at the University of Teesside has won a special award for its success in bridging the gap between industry and academia in North East England.

The Promoting Technology Award was presented to the Centre’s Head, Dr Leo Guevara, at the first ever Partners in Europe Awards ceremony, held to celebrate the achievements of European-funded projects in the region.

Dr Guevara said: “Many food and drink companies in the North East already work with us and benefit from the vast experience that the Centre can offer to small businesses developing new products and processes. Our customers can also tap into the wealth of knowledge in manufacturing, environmental, construction, IT and product design at the University of Teesside”.

The Food Technology Centre was set up with the support of both European Regional Development Funds and European Social Funds. It recruits industry specialists to work within the University setting to help food and drink companies throughout the region and has assisted with product development; advice on food & drink legislation as well as Food hygiene audits & advice.
