Outline
Eleventh Edition European PhD Flavor Research Awards - Academic year 2020/2021 for final year PhD students
The programme aims to raise the profile of flavor science research in
Europe by encouraging students of differing scientific disciplines to
engage in innovating flavor-related research PhD projects and thus to
advance the exciting and challenging field of flavor science.
PhD Student can be from any scientific background but one aim of the
bursaries is to attract people who have not studied Food Chemistry, Food
Science or Food Technology to study food flavors

The thesis should clearly explain the starting hypotheses or the goals and aims of the work
Clarity of expression and effective communication of results is a key aspect in assessing the thesis

What is funded
Flavor research amongst PhD students across European universities and institutes

Eligibility
Novelty:
All PhD studies should contain a degree of novelty and this will be
part of the judging criteria. Novelty may be a new method for studying
flavor or new findings or some other aspect of the PhD study
Results:
The results should show good experimental design and robust
methodology e.g. adequate replication and sampling to support the
conclusions
Publications:
Some theses are composed of published papers, others are more
narrative in style. Thus, the judging criteria will take these different
styles into consideration and publication of the thesis results will not be an essential criterion for judging
Evidence of enrolment and thesis submission in 2020 at the
university/ institute should be provided by the student. The electronic
copy of the thesis must be countersigned by the Professor and submitted
by December 15, 2020
