The SAFE Consortium members only pages have just re-opened!
The European Technology Platform Food4Life Board meeting of February 24th in Brussels decided that the seven Scientific Working Groups of the ETP will resume their work in 2011 and prepare a revised Strategic Research Agenda, to be launched later this year. The SAFE consortium has played a significant part in the ETP Food4Life since its start in 2005, coordinating the food safety related actvities of the ETP. SAFE will continue doing so by leading the Key Thrust Working Group "Safe Food Production" towards a redefinition of the strategic research issues most relevant for food safety in Europe for the next decade.
