Format: Online

The National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (NAPIC) is pleased to invite researchers, innovators and professionals working across the alternative protein ecosystem to join our upcoming training session, Decision-Making in R&D: Focus on the Alternative Protein Sector.

Effective decision-making is critical to successful research and innovation. This interactive workshop will explore key decision-making principles and examine common challenges faced throughout the R&D process, from early-stage research through to commercialisation.

Through a combination of case studies, practical tools, group discussions and interactive exercises, participants will:

• Gain an understanding of effective decision-making approaches in research and innovation environments.
• Explore common biases and challenges that can influence decision-making.
• Learn practical frameworks and techniques to support better decision-making.
• Apply new skills through real-world examples and collaborative activities.
• Leave with actionable tools that can be used in their own research and professional practice.

This session is designed for researchers, early career researchers, industry professionals and innovators interested in strengthening their decision-making skills within the rapidly evolving alternative protein sector.
