iNEXT-Discovery / METROFOOD-RI - Call for 'agri-food' proposals!
UNFORTUNATELY THIS CALL IS CLOSED NOW, BUT ALL PORTALS REMAIN WIDE OPEN ALSO FOR PROPOSALS ADDRESSING FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH!
Click the red button on the top-right!
It is our pleasure to announce our next external call for proposals!
Together with the ESFRI project METROFOOD-RI we allow now applications to all iNEXT-Discovery structural biology facilities for projects that address agricultural and food research.
Projects can be submitted by academic and company researchers for any topic that benefits 'agri-food research' and with reference to any food chain, for instance for cereals, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, etc. Possible subjects one could think of:
- Structural biology and biophysics studies on plant, insect and food material (raw materials, process intermediates, isolated products)
- Reliable monitoring of metabolite turnover in response to agro-sustainable treatments
- Identification of food allergens
- Quali-quantitative characterisation of natural toxicants
- Studies of foodborne pathogens in raw materials, or newly generated toxicants and contaminants from food processing
- Assisted optimization of food processing conditions
- Studies on novel foods from insects, algae, fungi, etc.
Different NMR, cryo-EM, X-ray and biophysics methods can be requested. Projects will be peer-reviewed and prioritized and facility access is essentially free of costs.
In case you have a suitable biological system please go here and register. Then, prepare your application following this link and start the title of your project with the words ‘Food-call: ’.
Proposals for this call should be submitted before 30 November 2022!
Please contact the iNEXT-Discovery Project Manager with questions.
