Science & Research, encompassing the Nestlé Research Center at Lausanne, (CH), St. Louis (US) and Beijing (CN) and its extensive network of external alliances, is a leading research entity in food, nutrition and life sciences. Comprised of a permanent staff of 700 from over 50 nationalities, Nestlé conducts fundamental research that drives innovation in the areas of Nutrition & Health, Food Science & Technology, Food Consumer Interaction and Quality & Safety. Nestlé’s vision is to improve life at all stages from newborn infants to senior citizens. The Feeding Infants and Toddler Study (FITS) (link to FITS Study page), a Nestlé initiative, provides a wealth of information on food consumption patterns of infants and toddlers and helps focus attention on those areas where education and intervention are needed.
Far from being a single center of scientific excellence, the Nestlé Research Center collaborates closely with Nestlé’s international network of 26 Product Technology Centers (PTCs) and R&D Centers. Research concepts from NRC are transformed into product applications and processes through this internal network. Additionally, Nestlé Science & Research builds external strategic alliances with the best scientific institutions in the world, including universities, private research institutes and government organizations.
