Building resilient global food systems leaders - programme for EIT Food staff

EIT Food strives to transform our food systems to be more healthy, sustainable and resilient. Achieving this mission requires the power of people to drive systemic change. EIT Food aims to empower its employees to become effective leaders in the global food system, build personal and professional resilience, and foster alignment between our organisational culture and programme goals. We believe that investing in our team’s inner capacities—for example understanding, communication, resilience, wellbeing, and regenerative leadership—is essential to create meaningful outer impact.

To support this goal, we seek proposals from experienced organisations to develop a bespoke programme of activities and support for staff, aligned with the Inner Development Goals (IDG) Framework and focused on how these are relevant to food systems transformation and food systems changemakers. The IDG framework was designed to support the personal growth and development of individuals by building the "inner capacities"—such as self-awareness, resilience, and collaboration— that are essential for driving systemic and sustainable change in the food system.

The selected organisations will sign a 12-month contract with EIT Food. This can be renewed after a year depending on programme’s performance as assessed by EIT Food.

The submission deadline is 31 January 2025, 10.00 am CET.
