1st Int. Summit on Privacy-Preserving AI for Food Risk Intelligence
The summit – promoted by FS4EU Supporting Partner Agroknow – will focus on privacy-preserving AI for food risk intelligence sharing and predictions, by involving leading experts about the transformative power of federated AI learning.
The event is organized in the framework of EFRA project – Extreme Food Risk Analytics – , which aims to explore how extreme data mining, aggregation and analytics may address major scientific, economic and societal challenges associated with the safety and quality of the food that European consumers eat.
The Future of Food Safety: Can we really trust Predictive Analytics?
How can Food Risk Predictions be a feasible and accurate solution and what are the regulatory landscape predictions?
In the online panel discussion, Prof. Chris Elliott invites the R&D expert Manos Karvounis (Research & Innovation Manager at Agroknow) and the regulatory expert Yvonne Pfeifer (Global Data Services Lead at SGS) to explore the future of Food Risk Predictions.
The session aims to focus on: • Defining how AI can assist food safety risk predictions and the challenges involved • Examining prediction models and regulatory change anticipations in the context of EFRA project • Exploring the current state of: AI powered forecasting models of FOODAKAI & the regulatory features of Digicomply
Challenges and Trends in Food Safety Community, presented by FS4EU partner IBA
TheGlobal Harmonization Initiative (GHI) is the international non-profit network of individual scientists and scientific organizations working together to promote the harmonization of global food safety regulations and legislation.

EU FOOD SAFETY FORUM, 28 – 29 November 2023 in Brussels
The first European Food Safety Forum will take place in Brussels on the 28 and 29 November 2023 in Brussels @ La Tricoterie.
The Forum will be organized as periodic appointment for gathering together Food Safety System actors in order to share knowledge and best practices, to discuss the Food Safety hot issues, to propose collaborations for improving the efficacy of the Food Safety policies and research in Europe. It will be held in Brussels every year, usually jointly with a European Commission event. The first edition of the Forum will present the platform and the results of the FSOLabs.
Strategies, roadmaps and recommendations delivered by the project will be then validated at institutional level ensuring their alignment with EU Food Safety policies, and enhancing the harmonization of Horizon 2020 Associated Countries and neighbor countries policies with the European ones. The organization of the European Food Safety Forum will take into account the best innovative models of breakout sessions to make the participatory process more effective
EHPM Conference “Quality and Safety in Food Supplements: from Farm to Fork”, Brussels
On Thursday 20 April 2023 from 10:00 to 17:30, will take place the EHPM Conference “Quality and Safety in Food Supplements: from Farm to Fork”, in the Sofitel Brussels Europe (Place Jourdan 1, 1040 Brussels).
The conference will focus on the quality and safety in food supplements, which are the main aspects that food business operators must take into account when developing, producing, and marketing a product. Quality & Safety are closely interlinked and should be there from the very beginning and should be constantly present at any stage of the production process, from the selection of the raw materials to the post-market stage: “from farm to fork”.

Microplastics: A Discussion on the Latest Findings from the WHO
Earlier this year, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a state-of-the-science report to assess the potential health risks associated with exposure to microplastic. The report, “Dietary and inhalation exposure to nano- and microplastic particles and potential implications for human health,” builds off the WHO’s previous report on the potential effects of microplastics in drinking water published in 2019. An international group of experts was assembled by the WHO to review the available data and publish the current report.
Join the report’s authors, Alan Boobis of Imperial College London, Todd Gouin of TG Environment Consulting, and Stephanie Wright of King’s College London discuss the results and the future challenges and research needs of the report.
Co-hosted by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) and ILSI Europe.
