Trainings

NIZO food research offers trainings in a range of topics and in many different settings.

We offer trainings on the job and at the NIZO institute, tailor-made and more generic, in company and with other organizations. 

In any case, you can be sure to make use of NIZO’s:

  • Expertise
  • Experience
  • Extensive network
  

Research

The core activity of NIZO food research is to perform confidential contract research projects together with the food and ingredient industry.
Usually in a bilateral setting, however consortia of (non-competitive) companies will enable larger and more exploratory trajectories.

Project brainstorm

Pre-competitive research programs, usually subsidized, enable NIZO to operate in the forefront of scientific discovery in selected strategic areas. Scientific findings can subsequently be applied to the benefit of individual food and ingredient companies. Three examples of such collaborations are NIZO’s participation in the Platform for Industrial Fermentations (Kluyver), Top Institute Food and Nutrition (TIFN) and Diogenes program. 

Application

Already since the foundation of NIZO the philosophy was that science should be able to lead to the next level of products and processes. Application of the typical research projects into your products has therefore key attention. With the installation of our Food Application Centre in 2008 NIZO is fully equipped to handle basically all food types.

Production

The largest food-grade pilot plant in Europe open to the entire food and ingredient industry is available to scale-up your (new) process, produce test products for market and/or nutritional intervention trials, and even take over entire production of certain ingredients and/or products (toll manufacturing). NIZO aims to avoid unnecessary inefficient use of your commercial production sites.

Consultancy

Seeking support for stage-gate decision in your innovation funnel? Product off-spec? Production lines running at insufficient capacity? These are typical questions in which NIZO experts can team-up with you in order to create a fast solution.

 Process modeling
Analysis

Analyses

Analytics are crucial for objective decision making. At NIZO a broad range of validated chemical and microbiological analysis are running under carefully controlled conditions. NIZO is specialized in setting up dedicated methodologies and if desired these can be implemented at your facility.


  

The NIZO Cases provide you with some typical examples of these different type of services.
