DRINC industry workshop
Back to events
11 September 2012
Event, 76 Portland Place, London, W1B 1NT
The Diet and Health Research Industry Club (DRINC) was established by the
Research Councils, in partnership with a consortium of 15 industrial members,
in 2007
to generate underpinning knowledge and improved skills for the UK food and
drink
industry. Over £12M has been spent on high quality research into diet and
health
within UK universities and research institutes.
DRINC has been successful in generating excellent pre-competitive research
across a wide brief in the diet and health area including characterisation and
delivery of 'health' ingredients within foods; understanding the
psychological/physiological background to consumer behaviour and the
development of essential tools
such as nutrition-responsive biomarkers, model gut systems and consumer
behaviour
screens.
A new five-year programme is planned for launch in late 2012 to build on the
success of DRINC. The Research Councils wish to ensure that the programme
sponsored
addresses key long-term strategic needs of the food industry, within the
broadest context of diet and health, so are seeking input from the food and
drink
industry on research priorities.
