Dear Sir or Madam,

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) in “Food Innovation and Product
Design” FIPDes is a joint programme developed by four outstanding European High
Education Institutes: AgroParisTech (France), Technological University Dublin (Ireland),
Lund University (Sweden), and Federico II University of Naples (Italy).

FIPDes aims to qualify students to cope with the huge challenges in the sector of food
innovation along with product design and packaging, and encourages student’s aptitude to
meet future developments. Auditors will follow an intensive curriculum during two years with
mandatory mobility periods among the partner Universities, shared between academic
courses, teamwork, practical trainings and a 6 months training period to prepare their MSc.
thesis. This will allow them to acquire necessary notions and skills for their future
professional responsibilities.

FIPDes is open to 25 well-motivated and high-potential students from EU and non-EU

countries. Considering the limited number of places and the excellence criteria we recruit
high potential and highly motivated students with a BSc. degree or equivalent.

We will be grateful if you could help us in the evaluation process of the best students.

We expect our students to have a long-term capacity for work, as well as a good ability to
lead and manage projects and work in team with people from very different educational and
professional backgrounds.

We thank you in advance for the time spent to prepare the recommendation letter. You will
find hereby a form which could guide you.

We remain at your disposal for any further inquiry.

Yours faithfully,

Barbara Rega,
FIPDes Coordinator
