Abstract

The gastronomy course at UFRJ was created in 2010 from the demand for university expansion. This work aims to present its trajectory of teaching, research, and extension throughout its 11 years of existence. It is based on documents from the legislation and the internal collection of the UFRJ. The undergraduate program is a bachelor's degree with 3,000 class hours, distributed among theory, practice, and internships in food, hospitality, health, and management. The university extension includes 17 actions among projects, courses, and a program on the themes of management and entrepreneurship, sustainability, culture and memory, history, dissemination of information on gastronomy, health, and inclusion. As for research, the course has three groups created at CNPq and more than 110 conclusion course works presented on various themes that permeate the axes of the pedagogical project. This report reflects a trajectory of growth, achievements, and challenges that reinforce UFRJ's commitment to offering a broad and interdisciplinary education, with continuous effort to build and consolidate gastronomy as a field of science.
