KERRU-group brings together researchers and developers working with the topics of Sustainable food solutions in the University Consortium of Seinäjoki (UCS), the research network Epanet (five Finnish universities & two research organisations) and the Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences (SeAMK). The group is one of the four main priorities of research contributed by UCS, Epanet and SeAMK.

All of the priorities are strongly connected to development of the main clusters in South Ostrobothnia. KERRU has opened the doors also to other actors of food solutions in the region. The mailing list includes over 30 researchers and developers coming from over 15 different organisations. KERRU-group meets about every other month. The main focus is in connecting different actors and in spreading out information. The group also plans and runs projects together, organise seminars, events or study visits.
