Five projects are selected for funding
We are happy to announce that five projects from the 2021 joint call of FOSC and SUSFOOD2 have been nominated for funding! The five projects were selected out of 31 transnational research project proposals involving 195 researchers from 13 countries. The proposals were evaluated by international peer-reviewers following the criteria and procedure stated in the call announcement and evaluation guidelines.
