EU Projects Overview

Since 1995, ILSI Europe has coordinated and participated in several projects under the European Commission’s Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Framework Programmes, and continues to do so in the Seventh Framework Programme and under Horizon 2020.

EU-Funded Projects

ILSI Europe is currently involved in 3 projects funded by the European Union, all funded by the Research and Innovation Programme ‘Horizon 2020’.

Funded under Horizon 2020:

• FNS-Cloud: Integrating existing FNS data, which is essential for high-end, pan-European FNS research, addressingFNS,diet,health,andconsumerbehavioursaswellasonsustainableagricultureandthebio-economy;
• FoodSafety4EU: Designing, developing and releasing a multi-stakeholder platform for the future European Food Safety System;
• SWEET: Sweeteners and Sweetness Enhancers: Impact on Health, Obesity, Safety and Sustainability.

In addition to these running projects, ILSI Europe proactively joins multi-stakeholder consortia formed to address different EU research and innovation calls, contributing to applications submitted to the European Commission.
ILSI Europe is also part of the Advisory Board of the SAFFI project, funded under the Horizon2020 framework.

Throughout the 35 years of existence, ILSI Europe has been involved in a total of 20 EU funded projects as a consortium member or a leader and even more contributing to advisory and scientific boards.

Benefits of Being a Partner
Participating in EU-funded projects allows ILSI Europe to:

• contribute to cutting-edge scientific  projects;
• expand its network of excellence and to closely collaborate with universities, institutes, organisations and companies around Europe through strong  consortia;
• liaise with governmental representatives from the European Commission, EFSA, WHO, FAO, US FDA, Health Canada and national authorities through the expert groups and workshops we organise within the frameworks of these projects.
