Who are we ?

The Lyfe Institute Research Centre is a non‑profit organization (under the French law of 1901). This unique research space brings together science and gastronomy in the service of knowledge, doctoral training and innovation.

We train doctoral students through a research program established in partnership with local, national, and international universities. The work is multidisciplinary and original, combining academic expertise in social sciences, cognitive sciences, and nutritional and food sciences.

We also offer tailor‑made studies and innovative methods: from culinary creativity to product testing in real context, quantitative and qualitative data analysis, for all players in the food industry, serving public and private clients in France and internationally.

The Science and Innovation divisions combine their expertise with the knowledge of professionals in the restaurant and hotel industry.

Together, they contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of tasty, healthy and sustainable food, to developing, testing and deploying solutions for everyone, regardless of age and meal context, in France and internationally, to enriching the teachings of the Lyfe Institute, and to implementing actions for the benefit of society.
