Due to Covid-19 our plenary kick off will be on October 26th from 09.00-12.00 am and our sparkling finals will take place on November 6th from 12.00-17.00 pm.

What is the goal?
Invention Summer Camp is a yearly event empowered by Wageningen University & Research and organized under supervision of Facilities and Services. Offering optimal food and beverage facility services on all Wageningen Campus locations is one of its main responsibilities.
On Friday November 6th, we will bring together 100 employees and students to collect innovative needs, ideas and concepts for the implementation in the future of food and beverage @WUR. We will offer participants a challenging and varied program of working on your ideas. Inspiring lectures and workshops. Support of your team is guaranteed by assistance of experienced coaches and specialists. In the evening your team pitches its idea before a jury, consisting of heavyweight representatives in the field of food, hospitality, innovation, sustainability, education and business.
Facilities and Services will create a vision document on food & beverage by November-December 2020, in alignment with the corporate strategic plan of WUR in the field of sustainability, circularity, waste, etc.
Widely supported input of all stakeholders is key to define this vision. Output of Invention Summer Camp 2020 will be used as part of shaping this document, which will be the base for new tendering procedures for catering in 2021 onwards.
