Deadline: July 31, 2024.

• Greif: Innovative solutions for diversion of a paper mill waste stream

Greif is looking for experts that can address better ways to reduce, recover and/or reuse OCC screen rejects from paper mill operations. They are seeking experts in waste management and recycling, particularly within the paper industry, to collaborate on and explore innovative solutions. The goal is to reduce waste, enhance sustainability, and optimise resource utilisation. You can read more about the project call here.

• Bayer Crop Science: Advancing health & enhancing nutrition via gene editing

Bayer Crop Science is looking for anything from a product concept around a gene edit in a fruit or vegetable crop to an existing and characterised edit. The proposal submission must include a product or focus developed through gene editing or NBTs in a fruit or vegetable crop. You can read more about the project call here.

• Private Company: Enhancing stabilization in microbials and sensitive biomolecules

This private sponsor is looking for experts in the agricultural, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, biochemical, microbial, or related fields to evaluate and develop novel stabilisation technologies for biologicals. They are interested in technologies that can offer foundational platforms for stabilising representative biological candidates. Given the wide range of storage conditions specific to different market applications, they are open to solutions adaptable to various scenarios, provided they do not rely on cold storage. Stabilising solutions must eventually meet several requirements, such as being sustainably sourced, free of microplastics, using GRAS-listed or inert ingredients, and ultimately complying with agricultural input regulations. Proposals encompassing all mentioned considerations will be given priority, yet they are open to dialogue in this space regardless of stage of technology.

• Amcor: A model for predicting and minimizing impact of post-consumer recycled resins on injection molding cycle time

Amcor is looking for a model that can predict the impact on cycle time based on PCR attributes and the percentage of PCR incorporated into the PET resin. The developed model should take into account different preform designs and machines with varying capacities and functionalities. You can read more about the project call here.
