This looks like a great opportunity for PhD students working on food, food tourism,and entrepreneurship. See the brochure for full details. ----- Coventry University are part of an EU funded, multinational project called TRADEIT looking at improving the competitiveness of the Traditional Food industry. As part of this project we are offering places to post graduate food researchers at a series of Entrepreneurial Summer Academies. Each Academy will run for three days at a European Institute and is designed to equip attendees with skills and knowledge to help them commercialise their research and engage with the business community. The first Academy will take place at the Institute of Technology, Tralee in Co Kerry from 15-18th June. It is aimed at early stage PhD researchers. In the next two years there will be further academies in Italy and Germany, each aimed at later stage researchers. There are a limited number of places on the scheme and those selected will benefit from a travel bursary and funded accommodation while at the Academy. There are thirty places on offer across Europe and applications need to be submitted by 9th May."
