for Phygital Food Systems
for Phygital Food Systems
FORK, the Food Design Organization, is thrilled to present EFOOD24, a groundbreaking event that celebrates the fusion of design and gastronomy in the Phygital Food Systems. ELISAVA through its Food Design Lab, will host this immersive experience, where innovation, creativity, and culinary excellence converge to shape the future of food in both physical and digital spaces.
EFOOD is a forum where academics and experts in design and gastronomy, as well as the food industry, collaborate in a transdiciplinary manner to examine food and the behaviour of food systems. Re-transforming, re-thinking and re-designing the world’s food systems, making them more inclusive, equitable and sustainable may seem like insurmountable challenge. But there are actually concrete actions that designers can take. More about Efood here
Call for papers
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for exploring the innovative intersection of food design and the «phygital» world. At a time when digital technology and physical experiences are converging, we invite researchers, scholars, practitioners, and enthusiasts to contribute to the discourse on reimagining the future of food through the lens of phygital design. We invite professors, MA and PhD students, researchers, chefs, professionals, and designers from all disciplines to submit unpublished papers and contributions to the 4th International Food Design and Food Studies Conference, Experiencing and Envisioning Food: Designing for Phygital Food Systems. As you prepare your submissions, consider how your work aligns with these tracks, fostering an enriching dialogue and paving the way for the future of food systems:

Call for projects
This edition’s EFOOD24 subject is a bold step toward understanding the immense potential of «phygital» solutions. The fusion of the physical and digital realms offers a revolutionary way forward. Phygital food systems promise to bridge the gap between nutritious, affordable diets and the livelihoods of struggling food producers, while addressing the pressing environmental concerns that plague our current food industry practices.
Aligned with the theme of the 4th International Food Design and Food Studies Conference, Experiencing and Envisioning Food: Designing for Phygital Food Systems, we challenge designers, chefs, professionals of food-related areas to submit their projects. Do you have a project that will change the way future generations of consumers, actors and stakeholders work and think about food?
The five areas of interest are:
- Next Generation of Food Brands
- Next Generation of Food Services and Restaurants
- Next Generation of Food Products and tools
- Next Generation of Food Communication
- Next Generation of Food Systems
