Research and development often involves making decisions before all the evidence is available. This 1.5-hour online training provides a practical framework for making clearer, more structured and explainable decisions under uncertainty.
Using R&D examples relevant to alternative proteins, the session explores how to assess risks, challenge assumptions, consider different options and decide when to continue, pause, pivot or stop.
This training is particularly useful if you:
The training is open to researchers, scientists, engineers, academics and R&D professionals, particularly those working in alternative proteins, food innovation or related fields.
No prior knowledge of formal decision-making frameworks is required.
By the end of the session, you will be able to:

No. The session is practical and designed to introduce simple tools that can be applied directly to R&D activities.
The examples and context will be relevant to alternative protein R&D, but the decision-making approaches can be applied more broadly across research and innovation.
Yes. Participants will work through an R&D case study and apply decision-making tools to identify risks, assumptions, options and next steps.
No. The focus is on decision-making in R&D, rather than technical scientific knowledge.
Coming soon — introductory content or related resources will be added here when available.
