Theme: Mushrooms: between Science, Cuisine and Medicine

U'cook Innovation, a student competition and professional symposium, returns for its 9th edition with a trendy theme.

These fascinating, often little-known organisms are poised to become the stars of the ecological transition. In fact, they can :

• Revolutionize our diet as tasty, nutritious meat substitutes.
• Improve our health thanks to their exceptional medicinal virtues.
• Clean up our soils and purify our environment.
• Give rise to new ecological and sustainable materials.

This is just a glimpse of the infinite possibilities offered by the world of mushrooms.

It's an exciting avenue of innovation for the competing students.

See you on Friday, March 20, 2026 at the UCO in Guingamp for the final of the student competition and a day of professional colloquiums packed with scientific conferences and innovations around our future star of the ecological transition.
