Providence University held 2021 ITVTI (India, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Indonesia) International Higher Education Symposium on Food for Good at Gratia Hall, Providence University, Taiwan. The venue was joined by over 80 online and eager on-site participants from over 30 different institutes and various nations, including India, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines in the ASEAN region, and Poland, Czech Republic, Japan, and Israel, from the global region.
This year, the annual symposium offered an opportunity to tackle the issues revolving around the food ecosystem, industry academic collaboration, and cooperative relationships among the food science fields. The event was co-organized by Anemone Ventures Ltd. and Providence University. Commenced by Dr. Junne-jih Chen, Deputy Minister, Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan (COA), the symposium ignited enthusiastic dialogues between entrepreneurs, leaders, scholars, and students in the hope of improving food for good. The keynote speakers and the panelists from our close academic partners delivered their professional experience and profound research during the speeches and discussions. President of Providence University, Prof. Tang, Chang Yi stated: “We foster talents who can produce quality food and guide people to build balanced eating habits.” As the first school in Taiwan to adopt the resume for traceable food in the cafeteria, Providence University will continue to open the door to the industry to profess knowledge, and meanwhile, create new values for society.
