Support an event and the campus
UNISG is a forge of ever-new ideas and inspirations—multidisciplinary and with a profound impact on the community.
Becoming a sponsor means seizing an opportunity for significant visibility and co-branding, allowing a company to align itself with the values that define UNISG.
Visiting Professors
Each year, UNISG engages 117 visiting professors from around the world, with the goal of growing this number in the coming years.
Supporting the project means:
Contributing to the international education of Gastronomists
Connecting with academics from around the world
Involving prominent figures in your organization for seminars or events
Elective Courses
In addition to the core curriculum, students can tailor their academic path with elective courses that help shape their individual profile.
Proposing and supporting an elective course means:
Giving UNISG students the opportunity to explore topics important to both the company and the community
Contributing to the growth of collective awareness
Engaging in direct dialogue with younger generations
Examples include the Company Creation course promoted by Supporting Member Starboost, and the Food Packaging course supported by the Italian Packaging Institute.
Study Trips
Study trips, a fundamental part of the educational journey, bring students to directly understand food cultures and processes through encounters and discoveries of regions and traditions across all continents.
Supporting a study trip—whether in full or in part, through a financial contribution or by offering your services—means:
Taking part in a unique and cutting-edge educational project
Gathering, through the students, field testimonies and documentation
Obtaining materials for content marketing activities on your own channels
Laying the groundwork for co-branding initiatives
Chair
Contributing to the establishment of a chair means affirming the importance of a topic for the education of future generations of professionals and its centrality to the sustainable development of the gastronomic system.
Associating your name with a chair—whether permanent or temporary—by supporting the teaching and research activities of a high-profile faculty member, means investing in the future of knowledge.
