European Federation for Food Science and Technology

Aims:

1. Develop closer contacts between food producers and distributors, universities and research institutes.

2. Enhance rapid technology transfer from ideas/research into industrial applications to improve European competitiveness.

3. Promote continuing professional development and educational excellence in food science and technology

4. Harmonise food legislation and enforcement programmes throughout Europe

5. Maintain a collaborative network of (research) organisations within the European food industry aimed at co-operation and knowledge sharing.

GLOBAL HARMONIZATION INITIATIVE

EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION FOR FOOD SAFETY

The SAFE consortium

DAADAA


Official Mission as stated in the Statutes is to:

“stimulate the public debate in Europe on the scientific aspects of food safety, by making available up-to-date knowledge from institutes whose scientific integrity is guaranteed by the unlimited right to publish in the public interest”.

Goals • 1. Work together to develop and promote interdisciplinary research projects and

partnerships in the Framework Programmes of the European Commission and its institutions, national governments and food authorities.

• 2. Participate in the public debate on food safety issues by organising congresses, conferences, seminars and workshops, participating in conferences and workshops given by others and by other activities like communications on the web site or in print.

• 3. Be the independent spokesman on behalf of the member institutes concerning view points in the food safety arena, e.g. by participation in EU networks and projects.

• (this can be done on invitation as well as on the consortium’s own initiative; focus will be on issues that concern industrial as well as governmental actors in the food chain and its management.)

European Technology Platform Food for Life


Technology Platforms:

Central Concept

New Instrument to strengthen the European-wide innovation process (address the so-called European paradox)

(Industry led) Framework to unite stakeholders around:

a common “VISION” for the technology concerned

definition of a STRATEGIC RESEARCH AGENDA

develop and execute an IMPLEMENTATION PLAN


The ETP Food for Life will

Drive European competitiveness based on the F&D sector size and the transition foreseen to high value added product portfolio (incl. services) with a major impact on well-being and welfare

Impact positively on Community policies (research integration, increased R&D expenditure, greater involvement of SMEs)

Boost research performance to effect the transition to high added-value products

Sustain career-development in food R&D in Europe and promote entrepreneurial activity

Prevent fragmentation by creating a shared Common Vision and managing an effective Implementation Plan for a Strategic Research Agenda

Effective public-private partnerships will be essential to fulfil this vision

ETP Food Safety Goals

Assuring safe foods that consumers can trust

1. Predicting and monitoring the behaviour and fate of relevant known and emerging biological hazards

2. Predicting and monitoring the behaviour and fate of relevant known and emerging chemical hazards including toxins of biological origin

3. Improving risk assessment and risk-benefit evaluation

4. Developing tools to ensure security of the food chain

5. Understanding and addressing consumer concerns with food safety issues

Future co-operation of Pan-European Networks in Food Sciences, Safety and Technology

•A vision on the necessary research infrastructure

•How to improve European capacity in food (safety) research

•Obstacles to share knowledge (and infrastructure)

•Suggestions for better use of infrastructure

•Better knowledge transfer and training

This is what it is all about, today and tomorrow
