About MFF Academy

Training young researchers, research assistants, doctoral students, and postdoctoral researchers is fundamental to academic activity. Mistra Food Futures is organized around a group of doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers, who, with guidance from senior advisors and mentors from both academia and partners in the food system, will carry out their doctoral or postdoctoral training within the program. In this way, we are training the next generation of food system researchers with the necessary interdisciplinary skills and competencies, which helps ensure the availability of qualified researchers in sustainable food systems.

The research program Mistra Food Futures is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at promoting sustainability and innovation within the food system. Through collaboration between academia, industry, and public sector partners, we are dedicated to addressing the complex challenges faced by the food system and developing solutions for a more resilient and sustainable future.

We prioritize the education and development of young researchers, including research assistants, doctoral students, and postdoctoral researchers in both social and natural sciences. By providing opportunities for networking, professional development, and interdisciplinary collaboration, we are developing the next generation of researchers in the food system.
