As part of the EIT Food „InformPack” workshop, about 50 students from secondary schools in Olsztyn visited laboratories located in the Division of Food Sciences of the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Young adepts of science listened to a lecture on responsible handling of food packaging, delivered by Dr. Joanna Fotschki, and then took part in experiments prepared by researchers working on a daily basis at the Department of Biosensors and the Laboratory of Microbiology. There, they had the opportunity to look at the role of food packaging in ensuring the safety of food products. Students also took part in workshops and an interactive game, thanks to which they could check how they deal with proper segregation of food packaging.
