Event description

Students have an outsized influence on shaping the academic ecosystem from the inside out, but their power is largely untapped. The Alt Protein Project is a global community of student groups that seeks to change that. We inspire, train, and empower students to establish their universities as hubs for alternative protein research, education, and innovation, and—in so doing—we propel students to the forefront of the alternative protein movement.

Apply to join at: gfi.org/the-alt-protein-project/apply.

If you have any questions, join our information sessions for interested student organizers on February 19 to learn more about what it takes to join this vibrant community of leaders and change-makers.

Register here for the February 19th information session at 10am EST / 7am PST.
