About us

The Department of Food and Nutrition and Sport Science, has a holistic approach to people's experience of food and meals, as well as sport and physical activity! We aim to lay the ground for good health and sustainable development through research and education. Central themes within Food and Nutrition include eating habits, meals, the significance of food in relation to public health, as well as leadership and organisation in restaurants and institutional households. Sport science covers a broad spectrum of physical activities, from exercise and health promotion to competitive and elite sports. The department was established on 1 July 2010 and is a fusion of the Department of Food, Health and Environment and the School of Sport Science at the University of Gothenburg.
