About
The METU Alt Protein Project is a student-led, interdisciplinary initiative advancing research, education, and innovation in alternative proteins. Bringing together students from food engineering, biology, chemistry, and environmental sciences, we aim to accelerate the transition to sustainable food systems through collaboration, innovation, and outreach.
We are inspired by METU’s dynamic research environment—home to leading faculty engaged in European-funded projects like Proximed and APRISE, which focus on novel protein sources and researcher training in sustainable food systems. Supported by METU’s commitment to student-led research and strong industry-academic networks, we strive to build a thriving community that drives meaningful impact in the future of food.
