Cambridge Global Food Security

An Interdisciplinary Research Centre at the University of Cambridge
 

Up to €400 million is available over the next 7 years for collaborative projects between partners, which build on existing strengths. EIT Food’s first full operational year was 2018.

Members of the University of Cambridge have the opportunity to bid for funding to carry out specific projects that fit the EIT Food remit. There will be regular funding calls over next 7 years and these will be announced by our Cambridge EIT Food Programme Manager.

Non-partner organisations, including start-ups and SMEs can be included in projects as sub-grantees, subject to a funding cap.

 

Proposed projects must:

- align with EIT Food’s overall vision and mission, and clearly define the targets for added value and the business or societal impact that will be created in support of the following objectives:

  • Overcome low consumer trust,
  • Create consumer-valued food for healthier nutrition,
  • Build a consumer-centric, connected food system,
  • Enhance sustainability through resource stewardship,
  • Educate to engage, innovate and advance.

- involve at least one EIT Food partner from academia and one from industry, based in at least two of EIT Food’s Co-Location-Centres or countries; 

- last between one and three years.
