Prajapati has had a long collaboration with Prof. emeritus Baboo Nair, and during this visit discussions were held with Prof. Richard Öste and Prof. Inger Björk on continued joint research collaboration in the field of Fermented Foods. While in Lund, he also got an opportunity to meet SASNET deputy director Lars Eklund, since SASNET has played a specific important role in establishing an international Fermented Foods Network. It was SASNET that gave initial funding to the project in the form of three planning grants in 2002 and 2004. This was followed by a large European Commission grant in support for the networking activities making it possible to organise seminars and conferences in South Asia. The entire project came to be called SASNET–Fermented Foods, and this has now successfully grown during a period of 12 years, now involving hundreds of researchers both in Europe annd South Asia. More information on the SASNET–Fermented Foods project’s home page.
