Getting involved

Getting the industry involved and in particular Small and Medium sized Enterprises as research partners and in a supporting network for improvements in the European pork chain is the major challenge for Q-PorkChains.

If you wish to join Q-PorkChains we are able to offer the following opportunities:

  • Q-PorkChains research and technology developments will be completed by applied research in pilot chains and demonstration activities. These are core elements in Q-PorkChains which focus on the involvement of the industry and especially on SMEs. Their participating is important for bringing the industry point of view into the research activities and on the other side in testing and demonstrating innovations and new technologies.
