EIT Food Funding
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:

- Overcome low consumer trust,
- Create consumer-valued food for healthier nutrition,

- Enhance sustainability through resource stewardship,
- Educate to engage, innovate and advance.
