Participants can gain funding, mentorship, and exposure to global networks, making it a significant opportunity for those looking to advance their research in agrifood innovation.

With a focus on projects that have a proof of concept, the TRC aims to bridge the gap between research and practical application, helping to address pressing food system challenges through scientific evidence and innovative solutions.

Young researchers aged 18–35 from any nationality. Projects must be lab-tested or experimentally validated, data-driven, and focused on real-world agrifood challenges. Purely theoretical projects are not eligible.
