Within the Italian Official Celebration of the World Food Day 2007,
the First International CIISCAM Conference will be held on December 4
- 5, 2007, at the University of Tuscia, Viterbo (Rome), Italy.
The conference is co-organized by the CIISCAM (International
Inter-University Centre for the Studies on Mediterranean Food
Cultures), and Department of Ecology and Sustainable Development of
the University of Tuscia, in cooperation with INRAN (National Research
Institute on Food and Nutrition), Bioversity International, FAO
Nutrition and Consumer Protection Division and Forum on Mediterranean
Food Cultures.
The International Inter-University Centre for the Study of
Mediterranean Food Cultures (CIISCAM) was established in July 2006 by
the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, the University of Tuscia, the
University of Parma, the University of Calabria and the University of
Las Palmas of Gran Canaria. CIISCAM puts forward the Mediterranean
food culture – with its manifold variety – as a process of growth,
dialogue and progress towards the achievement of a balanced
‘nutritional well-being’ in the entire Mediterranean region.
The CIISCAM will operate as a joining interdisciplinary and
multicultural structure among related institutions, with the goal of
promoting an inter-university network opened to the collaboration with
research institutes, food system organizations (producing, processing,
retailing) and international agencies.
The CIISCAM’s aim is also to gain a better knowledge of the
‘Mediterranean diet’ and its evolution over the time, in order to
broaden the dialogue among different cultures sharing a common root in
food.
The 1° International CIISCAM Confernce intends to serve to re-launch
The 2005 Rome Call for a Common Action on Food in the Mediterranean in
direction of the creation in the 2010 of the EuroMediterranean Free
Trade Area. It has also the purpose to carry forward a set of common
actions, in direction to the countdown of 2010 International Year of
Biodiversity with the common aim to reduce the increasing erosion of
the diversity of Mediterranean food cultures heritage.
In the Exposition Hall of the Rectorate, it will be placed The Ark of
Well Being, a pavilion curated by Plexus International. It will
present the Act VII of its travelling event “Erosions and Renaissance
Show”, addressed to raise more international awareness on the
increasing sea erosion of the Door of No Return of the House of the
Slave of Goree, in Senegal, as symbol of the all forms of erosions
that are dramatically increasing in the living planet.
