Creating innovative and sustainable experiences
We believe that the environment in which research is conducted plays a crucial role in its success.
Our lab is located in the heart of the Algarve, surrounded by the stunning natural landscapes that make this region so unique. But what truly sets us apart is the diverse and multidisciplinary team of professionals who come together to make this project a reality. From food engineers to hospitality experts, our team is passionate about creating innovative and sustainable experiences that promote well-being and support local economies.
Our research isn't just about numbers and data; it's about connecting with people, understanding their stories and creating meaningful experiences that enrich their lives.
