VLAG

The name VLAG is the Dutch acronym for 'Voeding, Levensmiddelentechnologie, Agrobiotechnologie en Gezondheid’, which stands for 'Nutrition, Food Technology, Agrobiotechnology, and Health Sciences'

The mission of VLAG is to perform research leading to future innovation in the areas of food technology, nutrition and health at the crossroad of different disciplines. Production of non-food products may also be studied where a clear relationship with the processing of food products is evident. To this end VLAG is training its PhD students to become highly qualified researchers. Besides offering an advanced education programme, VLAG also funds research projects and acquires external funding for large-scale multidisciplinary research projects.
