EIT Food: Impact Funding Framework Window 5

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is launching a competitive, open-impact funding opportunity that promotes ambitious, long-term collaborations and sustainable changes within food systems. 

 The funding is focused on two separate areas:  

1. Larger-scale collaborative programmes designed to: 

• Improve the impact of diet on obesity and non-communicable disease
• Reduce food-system-related environmental harms
• Deal with the threats posed by food integrity and complex supply chains 

2. Innovative single projects that can effectively deliver a long-term impact on:   

• Protein diversification: Bringing protein diversification to the mainstream 

• Regenerative agriculture: Enabling farmers to lead the transition to Net Zero 

• Labelling, packaging and transparency: Empowering people in their food choices 

A minimum of two organisations from two eligible countries are required across both programmes and they should also be from two different sides of the knowledge triangle (an enterprise plus an education or research partner). 

Please Note 

This opportunity is not live yet. The application portal will reopen for the March 2025 deadline once this submission window has concluded.
