Three researchers from Tech have received grants totalling DKK 9.5 million from the Novo Nordisk Foundation's programme for research into plant, agriculture and food science.

Dr. Tsochatzis has more than 10 years of highly relevant research experience, and the partnership with the Department of Food Science, Aarhus University (AU FOOD) will ensure visibility and connectivity between Aarhus University and the European Food Safety Agency, where Dr. Tsochatzis is employed full time.

Eight researchers from three departments at Tech can go on a well-deserved Christmas holiday with new NOVA grants from the Aarhus University Research Foundation (AUFF) totalling more than DKK 11.5 million.

The Nils Foss Talent Prizes (15,000 EUR – and extraordinarily awarded to two talents this year) went to Laura Román Rivas, Aarhus University, for her work with plant-proteins, biopolymers extrusion, food structure, food processing, glycomics; and to Mahesha M. Poojary, Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen, for his work with food analytical chemistry and food protein chemistry.

The Prizes honor and provide established as well as upcoming and talented researchers within the field of food and agriculture with a recognition and a springboard to take their research even further.
