Raising citizen awareness on alternative proteins derived from biotechnology

Pays one consortium to run a public-education and communication campaign on biotech-derived alternative proteins such as precision-fermentation foods.

ClosedEuropean CommissionEU

Raising citizen awareness on alternative proteins derived from biotechnology is a Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action from the European Commission that pays one consortium to run a public-education and communication campaign on biotech-derived alternative proteins such as precision-fermentation foods. It runs as a single-stage action, funded as a lump sum under the Commission's 2021 lum…

This call wants a project that surveys citizens' understanding of biotech-derived alternative proteins, then produces school curricula, technical dissemination material and multi-channel media campaigns to build public awareness and counter misinformation. It sits within the EU's push for biotechnology and biomanufacturing in food.
