Past Events
FIT4FOOD2030 Workshop ‘Research and Innovation Showcases in the Food System’
17/04/2019
Brussels, Belgium
Amongst policy, research and industry experts there is strong consensus that the European food system needs to be transformed to ensure the continued food and nutrition security. Research and innovation is expected to significantly contribute to such a transformation. To achieve such an ambitious goal, all relevant stakeholders involved in research and innovation in the food system need to be brought together; however, overarching factors that contribute to the transformative potential of research and innovation initiatives, such as trends, good practices and networks, social movements, educational approaches, technological innovations and potential breakthroughs need to be well understood also.
ILSI Europe’s Annual Symposium 2019
03/04/2019
Brussels, Belgium
Targeted to a multidisciplinary network of experts in food, nutrition and health, the 2019 Annual Symposium featured presentations by leading experts on three major themes: ILSI Europe’s contribution to EU projects, key scientific projects as well as future emerging topics that could be tackled by ILSI Europe.
The aim was to gain insight in the addressed topics, better understand the issues at stake and identify existing and future challenges that ILSI Europe could proactively tackle by fostering public-private collaboration.
Webinar ‘The Integration of Omics in Microbiological Risk Assessment’
27/03/2019
Brussels, Belgium
This webinar on the ‘The Integration of Omics in Microbiological Risk Assessment’ on 27 March 2019, 17.30-18.30 CET, 11.30-12.30 EST was organised jointly by ILSI Europe’s Microbiological Food Safety Task Force and IAFP’s Microbial Modelling and Risk Analysis Professional Development Group.
SUSFANS Final Conference
07/03/2019
Brussels, Belgium
The research project SUSFANS addresses ‘Metrics, Models and Foresight for European Sustainable Food and Nutrition Security’. Funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme, SUSFANS involves 16 organisations for delivering and disseminating research. SUSFANS’ overall objective is to build a conceptual framework, an evidence base and analytical tools for underpinning EU-wide food policies with respect to their impact on consumer diet and their implications for nutrition and public health in the EU, the environment, the competitiveness of the EU agri-food sectors, and global food and nutrition security.
Protected: Workshop ‘The Use of AOPs in Safety Evaluation of Food Additives’
26/02/2019 – 27/02/2019
Brussels, Belgium
Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) are designed to provide a clear-cut mechanistic representation of critical toxicological effects that propagate over different layers of biological organization from the initial interaction of a chemical with a molecular target to an adverse outcome at the individual or population level. Adverse outcome pathways are currently gaining momentum, especially in view of their many potential applications as pragmatic tools in the fields of toxicology, and risk and safety assessment. However, to date there has been little focus on food additives and how AOPs can be used as part of their risk and safety assessments.
