Press Release
In line with its objectives of bringing food research and industry closer
together and promoting high-tech innovation in food industry, HighTech
Europe, the European Network of Excellence, launches the European
Food Processing Implementation Award. It honours innovations in food processing
and improvement of food quality that have been successfully developed
along a knowledge transfer chain. The aim of this award is to encourage
small and medium-sized enterprises in the food production industry to
adopt innovative knowledge - in particular latest findings from biotechnology,
nanotechnology as well as information and communication technology - to
strengthen them for global competition.
Individuals, companies and institutes active within the field of food
research or food industry can apply for the European Food Processing Implementation
Award. Only recent innovations (within the last 3 years) originating from
the area of biotechnology, nanotechnology or ICT that can be applied for
improvement of food quality or food processing schemes will be considered.
As the European Food Processing Implementation Award serves as an incentive
for cooperation between research institutes and food industry, innovations
resulting from interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral efforts will be favoured.
The European Food Processing Implementation Award consists of a work of
art. In addition, the winners can carry the logo "Winner of the European
Food Processing Implementation Award" for two years. Travel expenses
for the winner to the award ceremony will be covered. The award is offered
biannually. The first award ceremony will be held at the next EFFoST-EHEDG
conference in Dublin, Ireland (10-12th of November 2010).
