The MAPP Centre for Research on Customer Relations in the Food Sector carries out research on the development, marketing and distribution of foods.  MAPP was established in 1991. Since the beginning MAPP has worked to make Danish food companies more market oriented and has developed instruments that aid structuring the product development processes and furthermore studied why some companies are better food developers than others. The MAPP Center has continually been recognized for as unique in Europe and with considerable potential benefits for the future direction of both food research and food manufacturing. MAPP has participated in a large number of collaboration projects with Danish food companies and trade organizations as well as a small number abroad. Moreover, MAPP has participated in a number of EU projects on consumer oriented issues. MAPP publishes extensively – in journals, books and practically oriented publications.
