Article 36 cooperation
One of EFSA’s priorities is enhanced cooperation and networking in Europe.
In line with Article 36 of EFSA’s Founding Regulation and its implementing rules, EFSA’s Management Board approved a list of organisations capable of assisting the Authority in its tasks in December 2006. Networking with these competent organisations enables EFSA to use a wider spectrum of scientific excellence in Europe. This helps EFSA respond more effectively and flexibly to its growing workload.
EFSA may entrust these organisations with the following tasks:
- Data collection
- Preparatory work for scientific opinions
- Other scientific and technical assistance
EFSA may award grants to these organisations through calls for proposals to support them in carrying out the requested tasks. EFSA publishes indicative information on the activity areas, budget and timing for calls planned under EFSA‘s Annual Work Programme for Grants. The organisations included in the list are designated by Member States, with the support of Focal Points. Since organisations evolve and needs may change in response to scientific and policy developments, the list is regularly reviewed.
