[Call for Participants] The Green Food Contest 

This is a competition for students who have finished their undergraduate studies from six countries in the Southeast Asia region: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The competition aims to engage students who want to apply their scientific strengths to one of the key sustainability issues facing the food industry: finding plant-based alternatives in relation to mitigating the impact of the current (animal-based) food system. Participants in the competition will have to submit a research proposal with a focus on solving a relevant problem in this field.

The competition is initiated by IMCD: a global leader in the distribution and formulation of specialty ingredients, through its “IMCD Cares” Programme. “IMCD Cares” will offer a scholarship to the winner of this contest to pursue a full-time Master’s degree (by research) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore: MSc (Research) in Plant Biology. Nuffic Southeast Asia is coordinating the implementation of the competition, including supporting the jury and follow-up support to the winner.

The competition will be open on 5 December 2022 and closed on 5 January 2023 (5 PM Singapore time GMT+8).

In addition, 2 (two) online info sessions on plant-based food will be conducted on 7 and 16 December 2022. University students and alumni with relevant background are highly encouraged to attend these sessions.
