Outline

The objective of EIT Food Innovator Fellowship is to empower talents to co-create, address, and gain experiences on excellent ideas capable of bringing their careers a step further, and foster innovators ready to respond to global food challenges.

The future innovative leaders of the Food system need a new set of competences beyond those acquired in research and academic environments. In essence, they require a proficiency that allows them to propose, manage, implement, and lead interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary research and innovation projects, to be able to transform lab-ideas into business ideas.

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.

What is funded

EIT Food Innovator Fellowship is designed to offer you a highly stimulating and creative six-month programme coupled with the acquisition of key skills and mentoring to translate an idea in a business idea. The ground-architecture of our unique entrepreneurial programme is a Foodathon, one to one mentoring, intensive and high-value training, and other unparalleled benefits!
