When Welcome! we started the Basque Culinary Center there was nothing like this at an international level. Project Gastronomía, an initiative led from our center, imbues this holistic vision and also challenges old ones. Fifteen years ago, gastronomy was fine-dining or haute- cuisine.

Project Gastronomía is an initiative that addresses the food system challenges of the future through gastronomy in ways that are humanistic, sustainable, healthy, and delicious. We believe we best do this by creating a space for multidisciplinary stakeholders to reflect on these challenges and create relevant solutions today. Through our workshops and events, we help stakeholders create images of the future of food, foster network creation, and formulate practical actions to enact change. Project Gastronomía is led by the Basque Culinary Center’s BCCInnovation. BCCInnovation’s mission, as a technology center, is to generate applied knowledge about gastronomy and the culinary experience and transfer it to haute cuisine professionals, the gastronomy value chain, and society as a whole. 10 | TOWARDS PERSONALIZED GASTRONOMY 2050 PROJECT GASTRONOMIA TOWARDS PERSONALIZED GASTRONOMY 2050 PROJECT GASTRONOMIA | 11 OUR PREVIOUS EVENTS TOWARDS PERSONALIZED As part of our mission to bring gastronomy stakeholders together, we have held a number of events GASTRONOMY: EUSKADI 2050 that center on rethinking the possibilities of gastronomy.
