The Diet and Health OIRC (Open Innovation Research Club) initiative from BBSRC with support from Defra, Innovate UK and MRC is investing in high-quality and effective collaboration between academia and industry in the food and drink sector. This collaboration is key to ensuring the translation of research advances into healthier and more sustainable food and drink products, and ultimately improved nutrition and health of the nation.
OIRC Hubs
Six Innovation Hubs have been created, bringing together leading academics in nutrition, food and behaviour science with experts in the food industry. The Hubs will prioritise funding innovative research that drives improvements in our understanding of the relationship between food and health and how we can improve the nutritional value of the food we eat, and explores what underpins food choices.
