The FSA and The IT as a Utility Network Plus (a Research Councils UK funded project) are co-funding a programme of work on the Internet of Things (IoT) and food safety. As part of this programme, applicants are invited to bid for short‐term projects as a proof of concept and to develop an evidence base.

Pilot studies will be no longer than five months and are intended to test new ideas or create novel linkages between research areas. Applications for projects in the area of impact of the IoT and the UK food network are welcomed. Suggested areas include but are not limited to:

• IoT data, data standards and sharing
• IoT transport and food, particularly temperature control
• organising hackathon events to exploit, disseminate and excite opportunities of IoT from farm to table
• what happens to food in people’s home? – temperature control in domestic settings
