This EIT Food-related Winter School is organised by Lund University, University of Oxford and the University of Roskilde. It is part of the EU-project FoSSNet that is dedicated to building a long-lasting pan-European network for Food Systems Science. The winter school offers a collaborative learning experience designed for early-career researchers from academia, industry, and applied research turn their work into real-world solutions for today’s complex food-system challenges.
Through collaboration across diverse perspectives, participants learn to apply systems and entrepreneurial approaches to interrogate evidence, co-design practical options, and translate insights directly into their own research practice.
What skills will you practice?
- How to move from research to application – identifying how your work contributes to change
- Gain systems-thinking literacy, learning to see problems as part of interconnected food systems
- Strengthen your impact and communication skills
- Join a European network of peers and mentors committed to sustainable food-system transformation.

This is an opportunity for PhD candidates, postdocs, and R&D staff with less than 7 years of experience. It is also open for researchers and practioners working on food-systems topics in academia, research institutes, start-ups, public bodies, or industry.
The winter school consists of three weeks of learning from 12-30 January, divided into three thematic weeks. In the first week, the focus is on understanding the food system as a complex network and problem framing. The second week looks at identifying key actors, leverage points and plausible impact pathways. The final and third week concerns how to translate and communicate research for impact, practicing pitching and adjusting your messaging for different audiences.
