The Danone Institute International, in collaboration with the Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale, launches the 3rd Edition of the Danone International Prize for Alimentation (DIPA). The aim of the award is to reward and encourage innovative and multi-disciplinary scientific research, led by mid-career researchers on the topic of Alimentation.
The Call for Applications is open worldwide and until October 16th, 2022.
The purpose of the DIPA is to encourage and support cutting edge, innovative and multidisciplinary scientific research in Alimentation, which is the umbrella term for sustainable eating and drinking practices that contribute to the health of individuals, including food choice, purchase, preparation, cooking and meal organization, and their determinants.
The DIPA 100,000 Euros prize intends to raise the profile and accelerate the career of a mid-career researcher, as well as develop knowledge on the topic and inspire junior researchers. The DIPA aims to:
- advance understanding of Alimentation through cutting edge research;
- encourage and inspire pioneering advances that integrate lifestyle, cultural, socio-economic and environmental approaches into research on sustainable healthy diets;
- promote a multi-disciplinary view and boost collaboration between the different disciplines affecting nutrition, from psychology to economics;
- support talented and highly motivated mid-career researchers whose work contributes to scientific excellence in the field of Alimentation.
Who can apply and how?
The DIPA will recognize the work of a single researcher, or a representative of a research team, who is leading a pioneering and collaborative approach on Alimentation and is open to mid-career research scientists working for a non-for-profit organization and from a variety of scientific disciplines within Alimentation, including behavioral science, sociology, anthropology, psychology, environmental sciences, economics, and cultural studies. The application is made by downloading the application file on www.danoneinstitute.org or requesting it by email to dipaprize2023@gmail.com and following the instructions.
