From 3-5 May 2023, the IAFP’s European Symposium on Food Safety in Aberdeen (Scotland) provided a key platform for EXCEL4MED to exchange knowledge in food safety and innovation.

Our coordinator, Prof. Vasilis Valdramidis (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens), joined forces with Pantelis Natskoulis, project coordinator of FunShield4Med, to share insights, expertise and resources aimed at strengthening scientific excellence in the food chain and food safety sectors.

The EU-funded Twinning project FunShield4Med focuses on enhancing the scientific excellence and innovation capacity of our partner ELGO-DIMITRA’s Institute of Technology of Agricultural Products (ITAP). The project tackles food safety challenges related to mycotoxigenic spoilage fungi and mycotoxins, particularly under the pressures of climate change.

Both projects are committed to driving innovation and sustainability in food systems. By collaborating and exchanging expertise, EXCEL4MED and FunShield4Med can enhance their impact and contribute to safer, more resilient food supply chains.
