Ecotrophelia Iceland is a competition among university students in the development of environmentally friendly food. The competition involves developing marketable, environmentally friendly foods or beverages. The competition is held annually in the second half of May.

The registration of student groups who want to take part in the competition this year is currently underway. Each group may have two to ten students enrolled in tertiary education. They can be from any field of study, but it is desirable that someone in the group has knowledge of food. Students must not be 35 years of age or older. The winning team wins a grand prize and the right to take part in an international competition, Ecotrophelia Europe, https://eu.ecotrophelia.org/en/about-us , in Paris in October.

Guidance on the development process

Once the groups have registered for the game, they will have access to online teaching materials that will guide them through all aspects of the development process. The groups will be provided with facilities for practical tests.

The deadline for submitting registration is 31 January 2016.
