    • Food Power: Highway to Health

    • In Person/On Campus

    What is kombucha and why is it a point of discussion? Is producing meat on a petri dish a viable option? How would you design a new product and what are its technical specifications? Students are introduced to the magical world of food through a variety of exciting activities and experiments!

    Inspired by Aristotle’s saying, “we are what we eat”, the journey begins by exploring food groups, discovering their impact on both personal well-being and the health of the planet. Equipped with the tools to decipher nutrition labels, students learn to make informed, healthy food decisions and adopt sustainable eating habits. Key issues such as the sourcing of critical raw materials and the development of sustainable food production systems are also examined, promoting a holistic understanding of the role of nutrition for a healthier future.

    Students analyze global trends in nutrition, try fermented foods and alternative protein sources, learn how taste tests are done in modern laboratories and in the industry, and design their own products. Using laboratory experiments and their “detective” skills they detect and isolate microorganisms in food and decide whether it is safe for consumers. Through discussions and experiments, students gain a deep understanding of environmental and social challenges, reflect on the need for sustainable practices and choices in food production, taste foods from around the world, and work as food researchers.

    Learning Objectives

    • Study and thoroughly check food labels and their nutritional information.
    • Practice laboratory techniques used in the field of food and nutrition science and their role in industry.
    • Create scientific posters, develop innovative ideas and design and present new products.
    • Understand scientific terms such as probiotics, gut microbiome, fermented foods.

    Foundations of Psychology

    • In Person/On Campus

    Can you measure happiness or anger? How do brain functions, our cognition, the environment and our personality interact to shape who we are? Can you gain all this knowledge in three weeks? Foundations of Psychology gives students the opportunity to establish connections between factors that determine our behavior and wellbeing. Students learn how to conduct research and gather data, in order to measure emotions, behaviors, and cognition. A holistic approach to human behavior is utilized, combining the understanding of how the brain, hormones and genetics influence behaviors, along with the impact of the environment.  Experimentation, hands-on activities and role-play, as well as debates and heated discussions will provide students with a thorough understanding of the foundations of the most important fields of Psychology. The course also focuses on abnormal psychology, one of the areas that most students are especially interested in. Mental health disorders, their symptoms, causes and management are introduced from a critical point of view.

    Learning Objectives 

    • Demonstrate knowledge on research methods and biological psychology, such as brain anatomy, hormone regulation and genetics.
    • Experiment with memory and thinking games, to determine the role of cognition in behavior. 
    • Critically assess the role of the environment on development and wellbeing.
    • Research and review mental health disorders, their causes and management.

    Genetics and Food: From Molecule to Medicine

    • In Person/On Campus

    Have you ever wondered how biomolecules or chemical compounds contained in food affect our genes? Why each of us perceives the taste of foods differentely or how certain nutrients influence human health on a molecular level? This course explores the fascinating correlation between food, the human genome and the potential application of food science in medicine, in an interdisciplinary manner.

    Students are introduced to fundamental concepts of food biochemistry and investigate the influence of nutrition in gene expression. Through the study of basic biological and pharmacological principles, they examine the crucial role of food science and technology in combating inflammations and serious diseases. Gene regulation, nutrigenomics and the study of novel edible materials with application in medicine are some of the key concepts of the exciting world which bridges food and medicine! Students also gain hands-on experience with laboratory techniques, involving gel electrophoresis, synthesis of polymeric materials for personalized medicine, and various biochemical assays (e.g. DNA extraction).

    Learning Objectives:
    • Study of the structure of nutrients and their impact on human body function.
    • Investigate the bioactivity of nutrients and its application in treatment of various diseases.
    • Practice laboratory techniques used in biosciences and food industry.
    • Develop and communicate cutting-edge projects through poster and oral presentations.

    Human Rights and Business Ethics

    • In Person/On Campus

    Do businesses have social responsibility? Understanding the law means understanding your place in the world—this is the core objective of this course.

    European and national legislation shape a model of entrepreneurship that is accountable to employees, citizens and other businesses. Fundamental human rights are safeguarded, ensuring that modern entrepreneurship has a social dimension. How can respect for equality and non-discrimination be ensured in everyday work life? Individual creativity requires a psychologically healthy environment to flourish – and this is a corporate responsibility. 

    Furthermore, through research, oral activities and an interdisciplinary approach, students will explore the legal commitments of businesses concerning environmental protection, consumer rights, and the maintenance of fair competition. Students will also become familiar with patterns of models of ethical and responsible social behavior – even in competitive environments. Developing legal thinking will help students construct and formulate thoughts and ideas, with a sense of responsibility and social awareness.

    Learning objectives

    • Acquisition of diverse knowledge and perspectives through speeches by professionals and academics.
    • Development of soft skills, including oral communication, critical thinking and problem solving, through the organization of a mock trial.
    • Enhancement of creativity, as knowledge is applied in individual and group projects, such as documentaries, posters, online/social media announcements, and article writing.
