The Alt Protein Project

A global student movement turning universities into engines for alt protein education, research and innovation.
关于我们
The Alt Protein Project is a global student movement dedicated to turning universities into engines for alternative protein education, research, and innovation. Students at all stages of their training, from first year undergraduate students to graduate students about to defend their dissertation, are the driving force behind the Alt Protein Project, which is building momentum at universities around the world. While students are excited to join the alternative protein field — which has seen tremendous growth in the past decade — they aren’t always aware of the critical role they play in defining the trajectory of our food system from within the university. Students are the catalysts who can shape university priorities. From driving scientific inquiry that improves the sensory and functional qualities of new protein products to creating educational programs and establishing a talent pipeline for a growing industry, universities will be a cornerstone of the alternative protein ecosystem. The Good Food Institute established the Alt Protein Project so that motivated, visionary students could lead their universities to transform the way we produce food — creating a system that is sustainable, secure, and just. We are currently not accepting applications to join the Alt Protein Project. However, if you’re excited about sparking the alternative protein movement on campus and think your school is a good fit for the Alt Protein Project, we’d love to hear from you! Please fill out the interest form (https://gfi.org/the-alt-protein-project/#:~:text=Next-,Get%20involved,-We%20are%20currently) and a member of GFI’s university innovation team will be in touch when we’re ready to accept new groups. In the meantime, check out our resource hub for student groups to get a better sense of what’s involved in leading a student group.

If you haven't read our latest alumni spotlight yet, now's the time! ?? by Asia Sheehab, and featuring Vivek Venkatraghvan and Paul Steinhardt! https://lnkd.in/gCyxgMKP
?? In this blog, we catch up with two The Alt Protein Project (APP) alumni, Vivek Venkatraghvan and Paul Steinhardt, to highlight their distinct career paths in the alt protein industry. Read their stories → https://bit.ly/3QNdGhK The steps to entering the alternative protein industry aren't always clear, whether as a biochemist, project manager, marketing coordinator, or tissue engineer. This is the case for most innovative sectors, where norms are evolving and career pathways are not always fully established—at least not yet. These student leaders demonstrate how leaning deeply into their curiosities, experimenting often, and building something meaningful for the community ultimately supports their career path and those who will follow in their footsteps. ? There's still time to apply to join the Alt Protein Project! If you are an undergraduate or graduate student passionate about alternative proteins, apply by March 28 → https://bit.ly/4bvn7fh
