About the event
Bring your research needs to the table! In 2022, ILSI Europe embarked on a transformation journey with the aim to evolve into a more agile, future looking, and member- & stakeholder-centric organization. In the process of developing a new value proposition, ILSI Europe organized three tripartite expert panels in November 2022 to identify the current and upcoming priorities in terms of research across three pillars: 'Food safety and quality', 'Food, nutrition and health' and 'Food security and sustainability'.
It is now time to build upon their recommendations and refine the research activities that ILSI Europe and its members will focus on in the coming months and years.
During this in person workshop, the experts will present the selected themes. Representatives of companies active in the field of food or food-related sector will then have the opportunity to exchange on emerging issues within these themes and bring their research questions forward to co-build new activities within ILSI Europe's new future-looking research agenda.
Join us for a morning of interactions together with seasoned, new and potential ILSI Europe industry members, and the experts who co-developed the pillars. And be inspired by our keynote speaker, Prof. Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights and Co-chair of the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES-Food).
Program
- 09:00 Introduction by Isabelle Guelinckx
- 09:15 First "World Café" on research themes from our three pillars, followed by a plenary debrief.
- 10:45-11:00: Break
- 11:10 Keynote presentation by Pr. Olivier De Schutter, followed by Q&A.
- 11:50 Second "World Café" on transversal research themes, followed by a plenary debrief.
- 13:15 Conclusion
- 13:30-14:30 Lunch
The Word Café animation technique will allow for a dynamic workshop during which all participants will be able to provide input to all the themes, and network at the same time.
Dowload the keynote presentationAbout the themes
Here are some of the themes that were put forward as priority research areas by the expert panels and that will be proposed in the workshop to formulate research questions:
- Ingredients, foods and diets for the future
- Processing for safe, nutritious & sustainable food
- Stratified approaches to screen & address double burden of malnutrition
- Characterising & evaluating health impact of what we eat
- 15 years of health claim: where are we now and where are we heading?
- Assessing reality of risk
- Risk vs benefit in Food Safety
About the speakers
Prof. Olivier De Schutter (LL.M., Harvard)

A member of the Global Law School Faculty at New York University, he was a visiting professor at Columbia University in 2008-2013, and he helped launch the Berkeley Food Institute in 2013-2014. In 2013, he was awarded the prestigious Francqui Prize for his contribution to the social sciences and the humanities.Mr. De Schutter was the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food between 2008 and 2014. In that capacity he travelled to investigate on the situation of the right to food in different world regions, and he presented a total of 30 reports to the Human Rights Council and to the UN General Assembly on various aspects of the food systems or on his country missions (see http://www.srfood.org). An expert on social and economic rights and on economic globalization and human rights, was elected to the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in 2015, a position he left to become the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights in 2020. He co-chairs the International Panel of experts on sustainable food systems (IPES-Food) since the establishment of IPES-Food in 2015.
