Networks of scientific organisations supporting EFSA units
EFSA’s networks consist of nationally appointed EU Member State organisations with expertise in the fields covered by the network. Representatives of the commission and of other organisations, including those from outside the EU with specific expertise may also be invited to participate in the work of EFSA networks.
Networks are chaired by EFSA and supported by the relevant EFSA unit. Their aim is to facilitate scientific cooperation in the fields of EFSA’s mission by:
- Coordinating activities
- Exchanging information
- Developing and implementing joint projects
- Exchanging expertise and best practices.
