While the Smart Protein project has officially ended (30th of June 2024), our commitment to the Smart Protein principles will continue, and we are looking forward to the plant-based food sector continuing to evolve and expand.
 
If you have any questions regarding the project, don’t hesitate to contact the Project Coordinator, Emanuele Zannini, E.Zannini@ucc.ie.
 
Please take care, and always remain curious and positive.
