Host Lab

HostLab is a project led by the University of Algarve that aims to promote well-being and sustainability through innovative products, services, and experiences related to the Mediterranean Diet.

Our multidisciplinary team conducts traditional and digital research to gain a deep understanding of the emotions and sensations associated with eno-gastronomic experiences in the Algarve region. We use local resources and products to promote responsible consumption and market sustainability, contributing to the diversification of the Algarve as a sustainable tourist destination.
