Накратко на български

Дрождите се модифицират чрез генетика, за да се подобрят ароматите на напитките или способността им да растат върху индустриални отпадъци. Това помага за намаляване на производствените разходи и подкрепя прехода към кръгова икономика в Европа.

Yeast Biotechnology Doctoral Training Programme

Yeasts have been used in the production of fermented foods and beverages for thousands of years, and have many traits that make them very attractive and useful for modern biotechnology. Modern yeast biotechnology products include fermented foods and beverages, feeds, biofuels, industrial chemicals, flavours, enzymes, and pharmaceuticals. high sugar in grapes). The overall research objectives of YEASTDOC were to apply modern genetics and develop methodology for improvement of yeast strains for novel applications in the fermented beverage industry and to enhance the robustness and performance of yeasts for industrial fermentation. For improving yeasts in fermented beverages, the aims were to better understand nutrient update and the links between fermentation conditions and flavour and aroma development. For industrial biotechnology the main questions centred on improving the capacity of yeast to grow on alternative feedstocks that would arise as industrial by or co-products. The use of waste products from other industries as the growth substrate for yeast cell factories is important to help achieve the European vision of a circular economy and reduce production costs across industries. From a training dimension, the project aimed to train a cohort of researchers that would have the skills and knowledge to play an active role in the development if the European bio-based economy. As well as technical skills, effective researchers need a suite of complementary skills that enable them apply their scientific know-how most productively to benefit society.

Цел на проекта

YEASTDOC is a European Joint Doctoral programme to train researchers for outstanding careers as leaders in the field of yeast biotechnology. Six academic institutions are joined by 7 industry and 2 training partner organisations to offer an international training programme leading to the award of joint PhD degrees. The interdisciplinary, trans-sectoral research topic takes advantage of recent technological developments to link fundamental research in yeasts with new applications in the beverage and white biotechnology sectors. 12 Early Stage Researchers will each carry out a 36-month joint PhD project between two academic institutions, spending at least 12 months at each partner university in a different European country. All projects include an industry co-supervisor from a partner organisation and ESRs have an industry secondment of 4-6 months to gain intersectoral experience. Additional research training is provided via summer schools, scientific conferences, doctoral seminars and practical workshops. Further training in innovation-related skills will be provided through network-wide courses that include technology transfer management and entrepreneurship. Transferrable skills training is delivered locally in graduate schools and by network courses in responsible research and innovation, scientific writing, and research leadership. ESRs will disseminate research outcomes in the scientific sector and will participate in outreach activities to engage targeted public audiences in research. All training will receive ECTS credits and be mutually recognised by all academic partners. A joint governance and ESR monitoring structure, including external experts, will assure the quality of the training programme. The long-term impact of the EJD will be an accredited, sustainable, inter-institutional doctoral programme that delivers high quality PhD graduates to drive research and innovation to maintain competitiveness in European biotechnology.
