Our partner Zinc is seeking expressions of interest from researchers to take part in a 2 day in person Sandpit.

Our partner Zinc is seeking expressions of interest from researchers to take part in a 2 day in person Sandpit (2-3rd July 2025) as part of the Multidisciplinary Food Systems Catalyst, funded by UKRI (BBSRC and ESRC). Selected researchers will join the Sandpit in London and have the chance to apply for up to £100k in funding, with access to a 6-month support programme from Zinc. This programme is designed to unite researchers from across the social sciences and biosciences to breakdown disciplinary barriers, cross-pollinate skills, ideas, and expertise. Together, participants will address key issues that relate to building healthy, sustainable, and resilient food systems.
