External Projects involving EFSA

  • ONTOX – Ontology-driven and artificial intelligence-based repeated dose The total amount of a substance (e.g. a chemical or nutrient) given to, consumed or absorbed by an individual organism, population or ecosystem toxicity The potential of a substance to cause harm to a living organism testing of chemicals for next generation risk assessment A specialised field of applied science that involves reviewing scientific data and studies in order to evaluate risks associated with certain hazards. It involves four steps: hazard identification, hazard characterisation, exposure assessment and risk characterisation
  • PANORAMIX – Providing risk assessments of complex real-life mixtures for the protection of Europe’s citizens and the environment
  • PrecisionTox – Toward Precision Toxicology: New Approach Methodologies for Chemical Safety
  • RISK-HUNT3R – RISK assessment of chemicals integrating HUman centric Next generation Testing strategies promoting the 3Rs
  • MicRISK2030 – A novel path for microbial risk assessment and management towards sustainable food systems: employing AI The adequate intake (AI) is a dietary recommendation used when there isn't enough data to calculate an Average Requirement. An AI is the average nutrient level consumed daily by a typical healthy population which is assumed to be adequate for the population's needs-based risk management The management of risks which have been identified by risk assessment. It includes the planning, implementation and evaluation of any resulting actions taken to protect consumers, animals and the environment concepts from Stochastic Finance
  • PARC – Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals
  • Giant Leaps – Gap resolutIon in sAfety, NuTritional, alLergenicity The ability to trigger an abnormal immune response that leads to an allergic reaction in a person and Environmental assessments to promote Alternative Protein A type of molecule composed of complex strings of amino acids (protein building blocks) utilization and the dietary Shift
  • UNITED4Surveillance – EU4Health Joint Action
  • FoodSafeR – A joined-up approach to the identification, assessment and management of emerging food safety hazards and associated risks
  • HOLIFood – Holistic approach An approach to risk assessment that takes into account the complexities of real life situations for tackling food systems risks in a changing global environment
  • TerraChem – From soils to apex species A subdivision of the genus, a species is a group of closely related and similar-looking organisms; for example, in the case of Homo sapiens (humans), the second part of the name (sapiens) represents the species: chemical pathways, effects and impacts on terrestrial biodiversity A term used to describe the variety of living organisms existing in a specific environment and ecosystem services Benefits to human or animal populations provided by an ecosystem, such as food or fuel provision, natural medicinal ingredients, and maintenance of soil fertility and applications for better chemicals management
  • SYBERAC – Towards a SYstems-Based, holistic Environmental Risk Assessment of Chemicals
  • DeliSoil – Delivering Soil improvers through improved recycling and processing solutions for food industry residues streams
  • PLANET4Health – Translating Science into Policy: A Multisectoral Approach to Adaptation & Mitigation of Adverse Effects of Vector A carrier of a disease-causing agent from an infected individual to a non-infected individual or its food or environment; for example, mosquitoes carrying malaria parasites-Borne Diseases, Environmental Pollution and Climate Change on Planetary Health
  • PollinERA – Understanding pesticide Substance used to kill or control pests, including disease-carrying organisms and undesirable insects, animals and plants-Pollinator interactions to support EU Environmental Risk Assessment and policy
  • WildPosh – Pan-European assessment, monitoring, and mitigation of chemical stressors on the health of wild pollinators
  • AMBROSIA – Bridging Knowledge, Communication, and Action for Food Safety in a Changing Climate
  • Catalyse – Catalysing scientific innovation into food safety action
  • HealthFerm – Innovative pulse and cereal-based food fermentations for human health and sustainable diets
  • INNOAQUA – Innovative Approaches for an Integrated Use of Algae in Sustainable Aquaculture Practices and High-Value Food applications
  • Valorish – Green VALORisation cascade approach of fISH waste and by-products through fermentation towards a zero-waste future
  • ALLPreT – Allergenicity Prediction Toolbox for novel foods
  • MoSIN – Monitoring the Safe Introduction of Novel foods
  • FutureFoodS – European partnership for a sustainable Future of Food Systems
  • Sustain-a-bite – Propelling health and sustainability through innovative food products and processes
  • EUPAHW – European Partnership on Animal Health and Welfare
  • COST: CA23110 – International networking on in vitro Research method which involves testing cells or tissues extracted from living organisms colon models simulating gut microbiota mediated interactions (INFOGUT)
  • APROVALS – Facilitate the seamless integration of emerging cellular agriculture technologies into the global food landscape
  • OHAMR – One Health integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals and ecosystems research and innovation across borders to reduce the societal burden of antimicrobial resistance The ability of microorganisms (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi) to survive exposure to antimicrobials. This phenomenon, driven largely by the overuse and misuse of antimicrobial agents (e.g. antibiotics, fungicides used as plant protection agents, etc), makes infections harder to treat and poses a significant threat to public health.
