AFN Network+ Crucible Event
Are you passionate about the role of the agri-food sector in helping get to net zero? Do you have a question you want to answer, but need to find the right people to work with to address it? We are looking to bring together people working in the food system and academics at universities and other higher education institutions to forge new collaborations.
The AFN Network+ Crucible is a two-day workshop in Bristol on 21 and 22 June. You will spend two days immersed in professionally-facilitated brainstorming and development of new project ideas, culminating in pitching your project for the chance to be awarded funding. Even if you are not one of the lucky teams selected at the Crucible, you will have spent time working on the application form for the Call for Scoping Study Grant Proposals, which closes two weeks after the Crucible. Applications to attend close on 21 May 2023.
