February 25, 2022. The INC’s Annual Call for Promotion and Dissemination Projects for 2022 is now open with up to €100,000 available. The INC will accept only one project per institution and a maximum of €50,000 will be granted per project and institution.
The goal of this grant is to fund promotion and dissemination projects aimed at building consumer demand for nuts and dried fruits worldwide, specifically in markets that the INC is unable to include in its normal activities, due to language or geographic challenges for example. Projects should encompass activities that provide markets and consumers with information on the benefits of nuts and dried fruits. Also, the INC welcomes market research that promotes the consumption of nuts and dried fruits. Applications for this grant are due by March 25, 2022, at 12 (noon) CET. We invite those who are interested in applying for this grant to visit the INC website for more information.
