The RecaP project brings together 15 PhD students in both industrial and research positions to ensure sustainable Phosphorus changes across the globe. Our international collaboration addresses the world's changing Phosphorus needs by creating a new generation of Phosphorus specialists to become ‘knowledge brokers’ across disciplinary silos. We will not just explore technical aspects of the global P challenge, but also where solutions can be implemented.
