  • Multi-stakeholder approaches to co-designing food safety tools
  • Digital hubs for sharing information, guidelines, and advice on emerging risks
  • Food safety challenges in novel and low-regulated food production systems
  • Advanced analytical and detection methods for chemical and microbiological hazards
  • Holistic risk assessment approaches for resilient food safety management
