Deadline: March 24, 2024

Applications are open for the EIT Food RIS Fellowships 2024. The EIT Food Activity Line consists of two complementary programs RIS Fellowships and RIS Talents. Both programs aim to boost brain circulation and enhance innovation, knowledge, skills, and solutions in the food system. They do this by supporting the creation and spread of high-quality knowledge and solutions to food industry challenges.

EIT Food RIS Fellowships Activity Line is searching for young and passionate individuals from higher education:

  • RIS Fellowships for MSc students, graduates, and entrepreneurs. Candidates will get the chance to apply their academic knowledge in real-world situations and develop their problem-solving skills at host organizations. The internship will allow them to gain hands-on experience in the food industry, enhancing their job-related skills and competencies. Interns will be involved in learning-by-doing activities, including internal projects and day-to-day tasks at their host company.
  • RIS Talents for doctoral students and young post-docs. Interns will benefit from lessons learned in R&D work and will be encouraged to participate in industrial collaboration or entrepreneurship during their internship. They will have the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills by participating in innovation projects, R&D projects led by host organizations, or Horizon Europe projects.

Benefits

  • Matching candidates with specific internship areas offered by hosting companies
  • Hands-on experience in solving real work-related problems of organizations
  • Development of skills like creative problem-solving and critical thinking
  • Monthly gross grant of €1,500 (Fellowships) – €2,000 (Talents) to support expenses
  • Mentorship from a high-profile expert in the field
  • Exposure to different work methods and perspectives
  • Enhancement of CV, contacts, and opportunities for professional life
  • Cultural immersion and international exposure
  • Opportunities for students and researchers from EIT Regional Innovation Scheme regions

Eligibility

  • Be interested in the agri-food sector;
  • Proactive attitude and passion for student activities;
