				Current Perspectives on Risk-Benefit Assessment in Food Safety and Nutrition Where Do We Stand

About the event

In a continuously evolving food word, Risk-Benefit Assessment of Foods (RBA) plays a key role in understanding the impact of dietary practices on human health. This discipline integrates the latest scientific advancements in nutrition, toxicology and microbiology to comprehensively assess the adverse and beneficial health effects associated with different food consumed. RBA has emerged in the 2000s and has undergone continuous development with now more than 200 RBA performed word widely. 

Our one-hour webinar aims to provide a comprehensive update on Risk-Benefit Assessment of Foods and discuss the current needs and limitations to launch an international survey. We will introduce the ILSI Task force and expert group, explain what is RBA and present the latest developments.  

Whether you're a researcher, involved in decision making process, working in industry or health-conscious consumer, this webinar will offer insights into the latest developments in food safety and nutrition. 

Programme

  • Introduction to the ILSI RBA activity and what are the needs? Neil Buck (General Mills) 
  • What is RBA in Food safety and nutrition? Hans Verhagen (Scientific Regulatory Expert, Food Safety & Nutrition Consultancy) 
  • An update from 2024: what was done in RBA? Géraldine Boué (ONIRIS) 
  • Discussion - Alan Boobis (Imperial College London)

About the event

The Danish Society of Toxicology and Pharmacology has the honor to organise EUROTOX 2024 in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. The congress will take place from 8 to 11 September 2024.

The congress theme "Toxicology - A Quest for safe Chemicals and Medicines" reflects the congress programme including a variety of topics dealing with safety of drugs and environmental chemicals, new and emerging technologies, personalised medicine, human health effects caused by exposure to chemicals as well as safety issues arising from climate changes.

The Local Organising Committee (LOC) and the Scientific Programme Committee (SPC) have made an inspiring programme, including the newest aspects of modern toxicology and methodologies. We emphasise the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration within toxicology and with the medical industries.

The Scientific Programme (SP) includes four "Short Oral Communications Sessions" (OS) giving the young researches the possibility to present their latest research results. We encourage everyone to submit their abstract to get the possibility to present at one of the numerous OS. The venue is The Tivoli Congress Center, located in the city centre at the waterfront, 12 min by metro from Copenhagen Airport, walking distance to central city locations e.g. the Tivoli Park, the railway station and the Town Hall Square. The Congress Centre, designed by the architect Kim Utzon, has a capacity of up to 5500 meeting participants, includes congress hall, auditoriums and big meeting rooms all at the ground floor. The Tivoli Hotel has 679 rooms, swimming pool, playrooms, fitness & business centers, cloud bar and restaurants. Another 3000 hotel rooms are located within walking distance.
