Genuss- und Käse-Akademie Bregenzerwald (Bregenzerwald Taste and Cheese Academy)

 

The Genuss- und Käse-Akademie is planned as an independent part of KäseStrasse Bregenzerwald (Bregenzerwald Cheese Road). The objectives include training and continuous education, a service offering for members and partners, and innovation development. The Academy is affiliated to the Genuss-Regionen Österreich campaign (Austrian Taste Regions) and offers its services at the national and international levels.

The KäseStrasse is an association of Bregenzerwald farmers, dairies, inns, trades and retail. All the members and partners of the KäseStrasse are committed to preserving the special character of the Bregenzerwald landscape and further developing and improving the produce of the region. Innovation support in the fields of agriculture, milk processing and marketing is just as important as co-operation and the creation of synergies with other regional institutions. An especially large number of KäseStrasse partners are to be found in the communities of the Vorderer Bregenzerwald. The most prominent member, the Käsekeller, is located in Lingenau and is to become the seat of the planned Academy.

Aims:

The Genuss- und Käse-Akademie Bregenzerwald is to be established on the basis of the activities of Käsestrasse Bregenzerwald with premises in Lingenau. Main objective: Preservation and dissemination of regional tastes. Concrete goal/products: 1) Training and continuous education (national/international) in the field of "local enjoyment and taste - typical regional produce instead of globalised tastes" 2) Services for members and partners 3) Development of innovative programmes to preserve and further develop organically developed structures (regional, national, European) 4) Public relations work / marketing / publications / events. The objective of the DYNALP project is to develop the general concept, create the structures and implement at least one training module. The Academy has an international orientation with a special focus on the Alpine space. A central goal is for the Academy to become self-supporting after an initial three-year period.

Realization:

Development of a basic concept in terms of content, organisational structure and funding 2) Establishment of the Genuss- und Käse-Akademie Bregenzerwald as a legal entity and creation of the necessary structures/organisational units 3) Sourcing the funds needed for an initial three-year period 4) Organisation of the first pilot activities, especially in the fields of training and continuous education, certification and other services for members 5) Networking with related programmes/institutions, also in the form of a decentral peripatetic facility 6) Integration of all relevant actors at the regional level 7) Organisation of at least one international Taste and Cheese Symposium during the project period to determine the status quo. The necessary infrastructural measures (adaptation of the training centre, offices, etc.) will be financed independently of the project.
