Annual Symposium 2021 – Nurturing the next generation

05/10/2021

Digital, Online

The 2021 ILSI Europe online Annual Symposium (IEAS) was a premiere gathering of experts from around the world that met to shed light on the current and future challenges on nutrition, food safety and sustainability.

In the past 5 years, the Packaging Materials Task Force has been building a set of tools to demonstrate the safety of food contact materials and articles (FCMAs) regarding non-intentionally added substances (NIAS). The task force has already published two documents on those substances and bioassays for assessing their toxicology. A third document is expected early 2022 and will provide best practices for analytical approaches in identifying and quantifying NIAS.


The Task Force organised a workshop to discuss the potential need for guidance for a harmonised approach to perform risk assessment and risk management of migrants from all FCMs.

		
		
			
During the workshop, invited stakeholders have been invited to share their perspective on:


    

  • Availability and applicability of guidance for intentionally added substances (IAS);
    • 

  • Availability and applicability of guidance for NIAS;
    • 

  • What is the need for non-plastics FCMs?
    • 

  • What is foreseen in terms of risk management of migrants from FCMs in Europe in line with the Farm-to-Fork strategy?
    • 

  • What are the hurdles and research need to reach a harmonised approach?
    • 



The input has been fed into a discussion to determine if there was a need for initiatives to provide harmonized guidelines for safety assessment and risk management of potential migrants from FCMAs.

Submission of abstracts


The Organising Committee launched the call for abstracts (for live web presentations) for the Early Career Scientists Seminar 2021, taking place via live web streaming on December 15th, 2021, 14.00-17.00 CET.


We invited scientists who obtained their highest degree (MsC or PhD) within the past 10 years to take this opportunity to boost the visibility of their work in front of an audience made up of scientists and experts from Europe and Latin America.

				
			
This year the abstracts focused on 'Mycotoxins research and mitigation strategies'


    

  • The best submissions were invited to present their work as keynote speaker in the live session.
    • 

  • The other submissions were invited to record a video of their presentation that will be shared during the event.
