Foresight is already 'used by companies large and small to shape their business strategies and build sustained competitive advantage'. The next round of Foresight starts in April this year. This UK programme, launched in 1996, still has funds available to support collaborative projects between industry and the research community.
Products covered include vegetable oils, biopolymers, composite materials and speciality chemicals.
Please contact the Programme Co-ordinator, Ian Bartle , if you wish to submit a proposal. Past UK winners include Kay Denyer of the John Innes Centre and Phil Wallace of Levington Agriculture. The deadline for applications is 15 April 1999.
