Hey future flavour innovators! 🧪 Ready to take your PhD research to the next level? The Giract European PhD in Flavor Research Awards (which includes a fantastic bursary opportunity!) is back for 2025, offering some seriously sweet rewards for PhD students passionate about the science of taste. If you’re busy with your PhD or just starting, this could be your chance to get some amazing funding and recognition!
This isn’t just one opportunity, but two! The Giract European PhD in Flavor Research Awards celebrate excellence in flavour research. They offer a prestigious award for the best PhD thesis and also provide a crucial bursary for first-year PhD students to kickstart their studies. It’s all about supporting the brilliant minds shaping the future of food science and flavour technology.
Who Can Apply?
This bursary is specifically for PhD students involved in flavour research. While the ‘European’ in the name suggests a focus on European institutions, students from South Africa who are currently enrolled in or planning to attend a European university for their PhD in flavour research, or whose research aligns with the programme’s scope, are encouraged to investigate further.
There are two main categories:
- Best PhD Thesis Award: For those who have already completed an outstanding PhD thesis in the field of flavour research.
- First-Year PhD Bursary: For students just starting their PhD journey (first year) in flavour research. Six lucky students will receive this support!
Always check the official Giract website for full eligibility details, including any specific geographical or institutional requirements.
What Does It Cover?
This fantastic opportunity offers two distinct awards:
- Best PhD Thesis Award: A generous EUR 5000 prize for the winner of the best PhD thesis in flavour research.
- First-Year PhD Bursary: Six first-year PhD students will each receive a one-time bursary of EUR 3000 to help with their studies and research costs.
