Dear Sir/Madam ,
Greetings!!
As you may have already seen, the programme to promote Flavor Research amongst PhD Students in Europe by awarding 6 first year bursaries and 1 best thesis prize is a great success with enthusiastic participation from many universities across Europe for both categories. Based on this success, the consortium of companies comprising
· Biorigin
· DSM
· Givaudan
· IFF
· Kerry
· Lesaffre
· MCLS Europe
· Nestlé
is continuing to support the programme, now in its 8th year.
The programme is open to students in the academic year 2017-18 across all universities in Europe. The programme and its unique awards addresses students about to embark on a PhD research as well as those who have already chosen flavor research as their subject. This 8th edition is also organised by Giract and co-ordinated by Prof. Andy Taylor from the University of Nottingham, UK.
The following documents are attached:
a poster announcing the 8th edition of this award programme for the academic year 2017-18. Kindly also post it in a prominent position on your website or pass the information among your academia network.
a road-map document that provides all the details about this programme
The presence of the link to Giract’s programme http://www.giract.com/flavour-research-programme.php in your association/institute website may provide an additional reason for the student to opt for studies in flavors. We would thus be grateful if you could arrange to have this link on the relevant page of the association/institute website.
Please do not hesitate to contact either us in Giract (info@giract.com) or Andy (andy.taylor@nottingham.ac.uk) should you have any queries or comments.
We sincerely hope that this initiative contributes to your own significant efforts to promote PhD research studies in flavor science and we, as well as the sponsoring companies, are eager to receive your feedback.
