Research Areas

At ųrebro University, research into the subject encompasses three integrated fields:

• The meal in terms of experience and aesthetic design
• The meal in the public space
• The meal for health, safety, and sustainability

For studies carried out at ųrebro University of professionally prepared meals and hospitality services, the Five Aspect Meal Model (FAMM) provides a very important theoretical framework. This model accounts for aspects such as the room, the meeting, the product, the management system, and the ambience.

At the interface with other research fields such as ethnology, business administration, gender studies, human geography, food science, environmental science, medicine, musicology, nutrition, education, psychology, sensory science, sociology, and tourism studies, it is possible to apply more broad-based and/or specialist perspectives.
