The i2MOVE at the Science Museum
The work on the i2MOVE project was selected by the Science Museum in London for the exhibition “Cravings: can your food control you?”
The exhibition “Cravings” - that will run from 12 Feb 2015 until 10 Jan 2016 at the Science Museum in London - showcases the latest scientific research on what drives our desires to eat certain foods.
From research on how other senses modulate the sense of taste, how exposure to certain diets affects babies on the womb, nutrition of astronauts in space, food legislation and of course biotechnology.
“Cravings” has been a wonderful success, since its opening on 12 February 2015, it is expected to break the record of 1.4 million visitors by the end of the year.
The exhibition will launch at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Manchester in October 2015, and there are current plans of taking touring the exhibition internationally.

The i2Move Project is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) as part of a pioneering scheme - the Synergy Grants - that brings together multidisciplinary teams with complimentary skills and capacities to tackle major research challenges.
The ERC announced the first call of the Synergy Grant scheme on 2012, where only 11 out of 700 applications where selected for funding. The i2Move Project was the only project working in a technological solution for metabolic dysfunction.
