Parma Summer School 2024
Background
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) – in collaboration with the University of Parma, the School of Advanced Studies on Food and Nutrition, and the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore Piacenza – has organised the 2024 Parma Summer School. The event provided early-career professionals an invaluable chance to learn from specialists in the field about artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential applications in the food safety system.
During the three-day programme, participants explored different aspects related to the use of AI and delve into its potential applications in the food safety system. They did so through a multifaceted lens, looking at risk management, risk assessment, and societal considerations, and drawing upon various disciplines.
Please find the video pills and presentations on the dedicated Parma Summer School website.
Objectives of the event
Given the interrelatedness and complex nature of the topics covered, multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder approaches were employed. The topics were addressed with a focus on four different key areas:
• AI and the EU regulatory framework
• Food safety and risk assessment
• Sustainability in the food safety system
• Social and behavioural sciences
