Living LivsID
The Industridoktorander inom livsmedelsområdet (Industry doctoral candidates from the food sector, or ‘LivsID’) program is the world that I’ll be living in for the next 5 years (ie mid 2018 to mid 2023). This program is funded by the Swedish government, through SLU, as part of the national strategy to strengthen the food sector. The firms that employ the doctoral candidates are actually footing more than 50% of the bill for these projects, but really, everyone wins.
We’re pretty proud to have been one of the selected projects, especially when you consider the amount of effort that went in over such a short time frame. Check out this for a short proposal call:
