FOODSAFETY4EU is a Horizon 2020 funded project focused to design, develop and release a multi-stakeholder platform for the future European Food Safety System (FSS). The platform will enable the food safety system actors to access efficiently resources and data, synchronize food safety research strategies, share and exchange scientific knowledge and contributions for the future EU FSS. The platform will boost interactive cooperation between food safety system actors including stakeholders and with the civil society. In addition, a European Food Safety Forum will be set up to officially consolidate the participatory process and guarantee the long-term science-policy-society interface. New digital tools, co-designed strategies and communication models will support Food Safety Authorities (FSAs), EU Agencies, policy makers, scientists and civil society in a coordinate approach, thus contributing to strengthen the EU approach to risk assessment and risk communication.
The consortium consists of a core group of 23 partners from 12 countries, and 44 other food safety actors are engaged as supporting partners.
