ALIMCARE

BY UniLaSalle

The Polytechnique Institute UniLaSalle is a non-profit higher education institution (under the 1901 Law) established in 1854. It offers programs in Earth, Life and Environmental Sciences, Digital Technology, and Energy. In 2001, UniLaSalle created the first post-secondary engineering program entirely dedicated to the close links between food and health.

 

UniLaSalle is also the leader of the “ALIMCARE” project, in partnership with Campus des métiers et des qualifications d’excellence Tourisme et Innovation Hauts-de-France, the Campus des métiers et des qualifications d’excellence Autonomie, Longévité, Santé Hauts-de-France, as well as UMIH Hauts-de-France.

Alimcare

The suggested project, ALIMCARE*, is being implemented in response to the increase in chronic diseases caused by poor diet. Its objective is to enhance the skills of young learners, their teachers, and professionals in the fields of catering, health, and personal care, both at home and in facilities. It aims to integrate nutrition as a tool for health prevention and as a continuation of care without sacrificing the pleasure of eating, as well as to improve knowledge and practices regarding healthy and sustainable eating to prevent these diseases in the general population.

How?

  • By creating over 350 hours of training for UniLaSalle engineering students on collective catering and catering in health hospitality, with 2 new training programs and 110 continuing education modules for professionals by 2027.
  • By annually organizing awareness and communication actions, including interactive digital workshops, culinary workshops, a website, videos, conferences with practical workshops, and five events to promote nutrition as a tool for prevention.

 

*Operation supported by the State within the framework of the AMI « Compétences et Métiers d’Avenir » of the France 2030 Program operated by the Caisse des Dépôts.
