Seligman Fellowships are for recent food engineering graduates and post-graduates who are non-UK residents currently working in industry or academia and would be able to come to the UK to dedicate a continuous period of up to six months on project based studies in food engineering to develop their skills and acquire relevant state-of-the-art knowledge. Candidates must demonstrate that they are particularly involved in food engineering in their home countries.
The Seligman APV Trust was endowed by APV (now part of SPX) in honour of its founder, SCI Member Dr Richard Seligman (1878-1972). This is one of the charitable funds of SCI (Registered Charity No 206883). The Seligman APV Trust grants Fellowships through a Selection Panel that includes food engineering and science experts, and members of the Seligman family.
