Students and educators
Learn about how students and educators across Europe are driving forward the alternative protein sector and discover how to unlock a career in this rapidly evolving field.
Our open access online course: The Protein Transition
GFI’s open-access online course explores the science behind alternative proteins. In five self-paced modules, you’ll learn about the processes used to produce plant-based, fermentation-made, and cultivated meat, as well as the environmental and economic drivers behind these sectors.
The Alt Protein Project (APP)
The Alt Protein Project is a global student movement dedicated to turning universities into engines for alternative protein education, research, and innovation. Students are the driving force behind the Alt Protein Project, which is building momentum at universities in Europe and around the world.
