The IVLV supports projects of pre-competitive industrial community research on foods, related products and related packaging technology. IVLV is entitled to apply for the research funding of the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK). By linking up partners IVLV promotes the research of small and medium-sized, innovative companies from food technology and food packaging. Research topics are defined directly from the member companies according to the bottom-up principle. Proposals can be submitted in workshops and meetings of the IVLV working groups as well as in the theme exchange. Promising topics are developed to proposals, in cooperation with research centers, for which direct or public funding can be applied for.
Financial project funding can be provided directly by the IVLV or via the IVLV by the BMWK in the IGF program. Explanations on how to apply for project funding can be found on the following subpages:
