[EU] The European Food Risk Assessment (EU-FORA) Fellowship Programme was launched by EFSA
EU-FORA Fellowship Programme
The European Food Risk Assessment (EU-FORA) Fellowship Programme:
- is a key initiative for ensuring preparedness for future risk analysis needs
- aims to increase the pool of food safety risk assessment experts available in Europe
- stimulates the involvement of Member States in risk assessment work,
- has the ultimate objective of building a common EU culture for risk assessment.
EU-FORA presents a unique opportunity for national competent organisations:
- to widen their networks,
- exchange knowledge and best practices
- and contribute to achieving a harmonised EU risk assessment culture.
Call for 12-month fellowships
The call seeks to identify consortia of hosting sites and fellow-sending organisations, both of which must be competent organisations under Article 36 of the Regulation (EC) 178/2002, EFSA’s Founding Regulation.
The fellowship lasts for 12 months, during which time the fellow remains a staff member of their institution (fellow-sending institution) and is released from their regular tasks to follow a work programme offered by another competent organisation (hosting site).
The sending organisation will propose a fellow to be trained under a work programme offered by the other consortium partner, who will act as hosting site and will be responsible for the training of the fellow.
Hosting sites are expected to have a strong capacity and broad experience in one or more activities relevant to food safety risk assessment.
Deadline: 20 March 2025
