BASQUE CULINARY CENTER – A ONE-OF-A-KIND PROJECT IN THE WORLD

A project open to the world, which aims to generate new professionals and new knowledge in gastronomic sciences.

Basque Culinary Center

The Basque Culinary Center, established in San Sebastian (Spain), was born in September 2011 as an ambitious training, investigation and innovation project for the development of the gastronomic sector, with a clear world-wide mission and founded on the idea of linking cooking to management, science and other disciplines.

The Basque Culinary Center rests on a dual organisation: the Faculty of Gastronomic Sciences, assigned to the Mondragon Unibertsitatea University, that is committed to provide a high qualified educational program aiming to train professionals from the culinary sector in the twenty-first century, and a Centre for Research and Innovation in Food and Gastronomy. It is a one-of-a-kind project in the world that combines training and investigation in a single space.

The Board of the Basque Culinary Centre Foundation is composed of Institutions, Top chefs and National and international companies.
