Giract is proud to announce that, following the success of its unique and innovative programme to promote flavor research amongst PhD students in Europe across various universities and institutes, 8 industrial sponsors have agreed to continue to support the programme in its eighth year.

The 8 sponsoring companies are:

• BIORIGIN
• DSM FOOD SPECIALTIES
• GIVAUDAN

• KERRY
• LESAFFRE INTERNATIONAL
• MCLS EUROPE
• NESTLE

This eighth edition is also organised by Giract and co-ordinated by Prof. Andy Taylor from the University of Nottingham, UK.

Purpose

To promote innovative flavor research amongst PhD candidates across European universities and research institutes. The project targets two different groups of PhD students:

• Group 1:  students who are about to complete their PhD and hence will soon be examining opportunities for employment
• Group 2:  students who are about to commence their PhD studies

This is translated into the following sub-objectives:

• Publicise the attractions of flavor research so as to pull high calibre students into appropriate PhD courses and then into industry
• For Group 1:
  • Solicit and evaluate innovative flavor research projects amongst these students
  • Provide the Annual Savory Flavor Conference, held in Geneva in the spring of each year, as a platform for the winning student to present his/her work to ‘potential employers’

• For Group 2:
  • Provide bursaries to 6 selected students who are planning to commence their PhD studies in Flavors during the 2016/2017 academic year
  • Enable the 6 winning 1st year PhD students the opportunity of visiting the laboratory of certain sponsor companies during the second year of their PhD studies, by using a part of their winning bursary amount for their travel and stay. This will enable them to obtain a first-hand view of an industry R&D centre
