Research funding in the field of food research
Our founder, Adalbert Raps, was an entrepreneur and a pioneer in food research: His numerous, forward-looking ideas and process engineering achievements made RAPS GmbH & Co. KG to become a globally active company. For this reason, food research with direct application benefits is particularly close to our hearts.
We are looking for people from all over the world with solid ideas who are passionate about science and at the same time care about ensuring that research results have an impact: in the form of innovative food ingredients and products or by paving the way for a responsible and sustainable food industry.
The Adalbert-Raps-Stiftung offers funding for non-profit research institutions according to its guideline for funding applications. If your project idea is not directly eligible for funding, we still encourage you to contact us. We look forward to tapping into the potential of our diverse network and working with entrepreneurial scientists or scientifically motivated entrepreneurs to consider how we can work together to change the food system for the better.
Commitment of Adalbert-Raps-Stiftung in favour of food research
As a pharmacist and entrepreneur, it was Adalbert Raps' concern not only to conduct research activities himself, but also to sponsor them. Gain a little insight into the project funding of food research by the Adalbert-Raps-Stiftung here:
