The aim of the module Packaging Technology and Development is to give theoretical and practical knowledge about packaging development. It also deals with the role of the packaging in society as a whole. The main task is to carry out a packaging development project with a related industry, mainly within the food business but also from other areas. This is done in groups of students from different study programmes having various professional backgrounds. It is a popular module with more than 80 students during fall 2013. Below the results of the FIPDes students’ project work!
