Details of the training sites are given on these web pages. There are no application forms or early deadlines for application as the training sites are funded until 2004. Training of 3-12 months duration will be offered on various aspects of micronutrient availability to European PhD students. It is essential that competent young researchers in this field of science receive training in the range of experimental approaches used to obtain quality information for the consumer and industry on the absorption, metabolism and site specific targeting of key micronutrients. The research is aimed at enabling the delivery of novel and improved raw materials for high quality food, where the carbohydrates present have a major influence on quality, as in most plant foods including fruit and vegetables.
