The pool of experts established through this expression of interest (EoI) will consist of individuals with knowledge in social innovation, citizen engagement, data and technologies, and food and nutrition topics addressed within FOODITY. We will select them through an open process to ensure independence and transparency in evaluating the applications to the open call.

Want to join our pool of experts? Apply by 12 June 2024!

Deadline to submit expressions of interest is 18 October (h17.00 CET)
