On 22 August 2019, GFI Europe was founded. To celebrate GFI Europe’s fifth ‘birthday’, we’re taking a look at the ‘before and after’ of alternative proteins in Europe, from the perspectives of science, policy, industry and our team.
Learn more about the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) funded research networks offering an open space for collaboration among scientists across Europe (and beyond).
A trip to Biotech Heights, a newly launched public-private partnership initiative based in Sweden.
It's time for policymakers to rethink their approach, and give the same level of priority to alternative proteins as they do to other promising biotech and cleantech fields.
Dopo che l'Italia è diventata l'unico paese al mondo ad aver vietato la carne coltivata, parliamo con i ricercatori del futuro che li aspetta.
Following the controversial cultivated meat ban, some fear an exodus of talented young scientists – particularly unwelcome given nearly 10% of Italians already live abroad – while others are concerned the move may cut off future funding opportunities and damage the country’s scientific standing on the global stage.
The results of a £15.6 million funding call round out a bumper year for British alternative protein researchers and entrepreneurs.
The UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has today highlighted the critical role that alternative proteins like cultivated meat can play in achieving key national objectives for economic growth and food production as part of the National Vision for Engineering Biology.
The latest Horizon Europe deadlines are fast approaching, with calls offering exciting opportunities closing early in 2024. Our Research and Grants Manager Stella Child walks through the key calls for alternative protein researchers.
More than half of European consumers are eating less meat, but taste and price remain the biggest barriers to wider adoption of plant-based foods, a major study has found.
