Cork researchers develop strategic links with Dutch food scientists

DUTCH food scientists are developing strategic links with Cork-based researchers in Teagasc Moorepark and in UCC, despite the competition that exists between them in terms of bringing projects to market.

Following up on existing industry and academic food research collaborations between Ireland and the Netherlands, Teagasc this week welcomed the Dutch Ambassador, Robert Engels, to Ireland with visits to the Teagasc Food Research Centre at Moorepark, Fermoy.

Mr Engels said: “Good contacts exist between researchers from both countries and some R&D activities of some Irish companies are based in the Netherlands.
