EIT Food launches open calls to put consumers at the heart of food innovation and research
EIT Food has launched two open calls focused on public engagement in the food system and will invest over €3,000,000 in selected proposals: EIT Food Consumer Observatory Call and Proof of Concepts
“Consumers are central to the development of a better food system. They are the driver of food trends and the ultimate reason why food is produced. Through these calls, EIT Food will support impactful public engagement projects, individuals and organisations that share the goal of putting consumers at the centre of food innovation and research. We want to hear from those who share our mission of creating a healthier, more sustainable and trusted food system.”
