As part of the entrepreneurship curricular unit of the Master's Degree in Innovation in Culinary Arts and Sciences (MIACC), taught by lecturers Maria de Lurdes Calisto and Victor Afonso, the master's students had the opportunity to visit the SUGAL factory in Benavente and learn about the main processes in terms of product development, production, quality, food safety and storage, as well as taking part in a lecture on costing methods applied to food products. The MIACC coordinator, Gilberto Costa, accompanied the visit.
Also taking part were students from the Master's Degree in Food Safety and Quality in Catering, and members of DNA Cascais as ESHTE's partners for entrepreneurship and business dynamisation.
ESHTE would like to thank the entire SUGAL team, especially Dr Irene Cachapa, who welcomed us with open arms and provided the students with a unique learning experience.
