According to representatives of the Galati university, this is the first time a Romanian team has received this special distinction, granted by the organisers of EEIG Ecotrophelia Europe for excellence in promoting and presenting an innovative food product.

Our team has shown that when science, innovation, engineering, and marketing join forces, the results are extraordinary. The product that represented our country - FoodCell - is a protein snack designed for those with an active lifestyle. Congratulations to the students and academic staff for this outstanding achievement! We are proud of you and look forward to welcoming you home with joy and gratitude - you have brought the name of our University and of Romania where it belongs: at the top of European innovation,' reads a press release issued on Wednesday by Dunarea de Jos University.
