Descriptif
Description du contenu de l'enseignementAims:
The course provides theoretical and practical knowledge in packaging development and innovation, and deals with the significance of packaging in society. Upon course completion, you will understand how to run a packaging development project with others, and how packaging affects sustainable development in society. You will also have the experience of practical project work with a relevant industry.
Content:
The course is built on project-based learning in which the foremost course component is to implement an industry-assigned packaging development project. The project is carried out in a group and follows a research approach in which theories on packaging development, consumer insights, and sustainable development are converted into practical application in the project. You will receive feedback during the project from your supervisor and from seminars. Support in the project is provided through lectures and study visits with researchers from the Department and representatives from industry. The lectures present theory on the development of packaging systems for various applications, on different packing materials, on market and consumer aspects, as well as aspects of sustainable development of packaging.
Guest lectures and study visits provide good insights into how different companies work with packaging development and production.
