With an incentive fee of 8000 euros, Fontys Food Festival should be able to professionalise itself. The money comes from the European subsidy program for higher education Erasmus+ for \u201cOrganisational Support\u201d (OS),\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/span>Bron<\/span><\/a>\u201c, Fontys\u2019 information website, reports. International students of Fontys are making dishes from their home country during the Food Festival, which are served to each other and teachers for a small amount of money. \u2018<\/span>Socialising<\/span><\/i>\u2019 is the magic word. \u201cTo me, this is the example of \u2018Internationalisation at home\u2019\u201d, says Nico van der Aa, professor of electrical engineering at Fontys.<\/span><\/p>\n The Food Festival received the subsidy because of the way this project helps with the welcoming and guidance of students and staff members. The festival started as a small event: international students of<\/span> Fontys University of Engineering were tasting each other\u2019s dishes and culture. But according to Van der Aa, it could be seen at a lot more institutions in a few years, partly due to the subsidy obtained. \u201cIf other education courses want to organise it too, they can have our road map\u201d, he tells Bron. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At Fontys Engineering, which includes mechanical engineering, mechatronics and automotive, there are students with 25 different nationalities. The 8000 euros will be invested in organisational matters and hiring a nutrition expert, according to Van der Aa. The organization itself remains in the hands of Innovum, the study association for all engineering courses.<\/span><\/p>\n Bron tekst & foto’s: Fontys Bron<\/a><\/p>\n With an incentive fee of 8000 euros, Fontys Food Festival should be able to professionalise itself.
