The objective of the EIT Food Innovator Fellowship Programme is to empower talents to co-create, ad-dress, and gain experiences on excellent ideas capable of bringing their careers a step further and foster innovators ready to respond to global food challenges.
Global challenges in the Agri-Food systems require a mind-shift and a thrilling change in the awareness and competencies of talents: the new generation of entrepreneurs are asked to play a key role in solving the planet’s food-related issues.
Talents from academia (Post-doctoral researchers) and non-academia (Young Professionals) are called to boost and diversify their career paths, solve global challenges, and enhance their career prospects.
Future Agri-Food systems leaders need a new set of competences beyond those acquired in research and academic environments. They require a proficiency that allows them to propose, manage, imple-ment, and lead interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary research and innovation projects, to be able to trans-form lab-ideas into business ideas.
This is why EIT Food has designed for you Innovator Fellowship, a career-boosting path for Post-doc-toral researchers and Young Professionals.
