Kai Reineke, MSc Student Food Science and technology, Technical University of Berlin in Germany

“The nomination for the EFFoST Student of the Year Award allowed me to participate at the annual EFFoST conference and to present the results of my thesis towards a broad audience from academia and industry. The open minded atmosphere and the exchange of ideas during this meeting substantiated my decision to start with a PhD. During another EFFoST meeting I got in touch with GNT where I am now working in the R&D department. Hence, the EFFoST Student of the Year Award was a cornerstone in my scientific career”.
