ELBULLIFOUNDATION’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WORLD OF EDUCATION

In September 2011, the Basque Culinary Center, Spain’s first university in the field of gastronomy, is officially inaugurated. Ferran Adrià is appointed President of the university’s International Advisory Committee, a position he holds until 2015, when he himself proposes renewal of the committee leadership to take in different visions and perspectives on gastronomy.

Made up of some of the most influential and renowned chefs in the world, the International Advisory Committee, of which Ferran Adrià continues to be a member, undertakes the role of promoting new projects and advising the university’s Board of Trustees on strategic tasks, which serves to project the university internationally. Its members are tasked with deliberating on a range of topics related to gastronomy and meeting annually to debate them. The Committee also operates as a strategic think tank for the sector, in line with the university’s mission.
