The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the Innovation Fund Denmark (former Danish Council for Strategic Research) announce a new call for proposals for joint research collaboration in Food Science under the scientific cooperation agreement between the institutions.
The call is open to researchers from universities, research institutions and private companies in the State of São Paulo and in Denmark who conduct research within the Food Science area.
Brazilian and Danish researchers must prepare the proposals jointly. In the State of São Paulo, eligible applicants are researchers who comply with the Thematic or the Regular Research Awards eligibility criteria. In Denmark, the call is open for any Danish proposers who comply with Innovation Fund criteria for eligibility.
For both regions, it is of major importance to provide solutions within the field of food science in order to accommodate to the challenges related to “Bio-refinery" and/or “Food and Health”.
FAPESP and Innovation Fund Denmark expect to jointly fund a maximum of four projects with a total amount of around US$ 4 million for all projects. Requested funding may cover research and travel expenses according to each funding agency’s guidelines.
The duration of the proposed research projects may be up to 48 months. Proposals must be submitted simultaneously to FAPESP (in paper form) and to Innovation Fund (electronic application) until July 17, 2015.
