Coming to the IGC will be an intense personal and professional experience for the chefs, because during their four-month stay they will have the opportunity to live in the centre itself and become part of a genuine idea factory that includes spaces dedicated to gastronomic training and research, as well as others promoting creativity, which will facilitate the free exchange of knowledge and encourage experimentation.
In addition, because another objective of the IGC is to provide a great deal of gastronomic activity to the city, it is essential to maintain good relations with it by providing spaces open to the public, courses and conferences and numerous activities that will completely integrate it into the city’s life.
Important personages related to the world of gastronomy and who share an innovative vision of cuisine, such as Ferrán Adrià, Juan María Arzak, Rene Redzepi, Heston Bluementhal, Michel Bras or Andoni Luis Aduriz, among others, have sought to exchange knowledge in order to enhance their own approaches, and have relied on research and innovation to achieve new gastronomic experiences.
