Latest On Study Visits
Twenty fellowships have now been awarded to allow EU researchers working within industry and research-based organisations, to undertake study visits to NZ to meet relevant researchers and industries. All successful applicants have now been selected and contacted. For those individuals who have not been successful the Food-Frenz Partners thank you for your application and interest in the Food-Frenz project.
The study visits will take place between January and May 2008. The visits focus on individuals within industry and research groups where there is a clear complement between EU and NZ activities and where EU activities contribute to delivering EU policy goals of safe, sustainable food. In this way strong collaborations can be formed to respond to future research initiatives at both national and EU levels.
In NZ the fellows are to spend around 2-3 weeks with one of the study visit hosts and will meet with leading scientists in one of the relevant areas.
- Food Safety
- Personalised Foods
- Animal Health and Welfare
- Sustainable Production
- Innovative and Emerging Technologies
The fellows will also visit some of the large industries and SMEs who are at the forefront of food.
The EU fellows will disseminate their findings via the conference (which is to take place on 11 and 12 September 2008 in Budapest, Hungary) and also through their own national networks.
