SPARK Fellowship program 2024 – Good Food Institute India (GFI India)

SPARK FELLOWSHIP

The Good Food Institute India (GFI India) is the central expert organization, thought leader, and convening body in the Indian alternative protein or smart protein sector. As part of an international network of organizations with partners in the U.S., Brazil, Europe, Israel, and Asia Pacific, GFI India is on a mission to build a secure, sustainable, and just global food future. With unique insight across science, business, and policy, we are using the power of food innovation and markets to accelerate the transition of our food system toward alternative proteins. In building the sector from the ground up in India, we aim to establish a model for its growth all across the developing world.

GFI India’s Smart Protein Advanced Research & Knowledge (SPARK) Fellowship program aims at encouraging postgraduate students from diverse scientific disciplines like food technology, biotechnology & bioengineering, microbiology, and chemical engineering to work on industry-relevant applied research topics contributing to innovative discoveries in the smart protein sector.

Under the SPARK fellowship, students will have the opportunity to conduct fully-funded, lab-based research for a six-month timeframe at premier Indian R&D institutions under the guidance of expert faculty mentors. This program will also facilitate translational research collaborations and commercialization of outcomes by onboarding relevant industry partners from our network.

Smart proteins, globally known as alternative proteins, are food ingredients and products produced from plants or animal cells or through fermentation. These innovative foods are designed to taste the same as or better than conventional animal products while costing the same or less.
With their inherent adaptability and eagerness to learn, students are crucial in filling talent gaps in the smart protein sector. Carrying out research through fellowship programs at the university level is a pivotal way in which students can upskill themselves, learn more about smart protein, contribute to smart protein R&D, and proceed to become key players in this burgeoning industry.
