What is it about?
The ‘Focus on FP7’ series aims to provide a better understanding of specific FP7 calls. This event will
focus on food research which has the potential for even stronger North/South links. The event will give
insights into the nutrition, food processing and food safety-related topics of the next Food, Agriculture
and Fisheries, and Biotechnology (FAFB) FP7 call (July 2012) and will serve as a platform for sharing
experience and to meet potential partners from across the island.
Who should attend?
This event is targeted at researchers and companies on the island interested in submitting project
proposals under the environment call within the following indicative topics:
• Impact of food and nutritional behaviour, lifestyle and the socio-economic environment on
depression and proposed remedial actions
• Development and industrial application of sensors for food processing operations
• Transfer of knowledge on traditional foods to SMEs
• Saving water and energy for resource-efficient food processing
• Food quality and safety
• Quality and authenticity in the food chain
What can you expect?
