🧩 We’re excited to introduce the Young Researchers (YR) Community of GIN-TONIC! Our mission is simple: → Strengthen connections across the network → Boost engagement in GIN-TONIC activities → Foster meaningful collaborations → Support career development through knowledge exchange and opportunities Whether you're looking to share ideas, find collaborators, or simply stay connected—this is your space. 💬 Do you have fresh ideas that you want to share? Want to get involved

The deadline for abstract submissions for the 77th Annual Meeting of the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP) is approaching. If you want to share your research in Hamburg this September, you have until March 1st, 2026 to get your submission in! 🪰 Focus on Insect Science As always, there is a dedicated lineup of insect sessions exploring the latest in alternative proteins and circular economy. This is a fantastic opportunity to present your work to a global network

Our channel is officially live: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXF1tQyLbQlhRu2PWcWks6w We’re genuinely happy to start sharing knowledge more openly, supporting the fast-growing sector of insects as food & feed, with a special focus on insect nutrition, where innovation (and enthusiasm) is moving at a fast pace!
