As food systems face growing complexity—from climate change and globalization to evolving consumer demands—there is a pressing need for more agile, science-based responses to emerging food safety risks. At FoodSafeR, we are responding to this challenge by developing a comprehensive digital platform that will help transform the way professionals access, apply, and share food safety knowledge across Europe and internationally.
A Platform Built for Impact
The FoodSafeR Open Digital Hub is designed as a centralized, all-in-one platform to support professionals across the food safety ecosystem. It will provide access to:
-
Practical tools and methodologies for assessing and managing food safety risks
-
Scientific models and data-driven strategies tailored to real-world challenges
-
Training materials and guidance for continuous professional development
-
Co-created solutions developed with input from authorities, researchers, and industry stakeholders
Through this hub, FoodSafeR aims to foster a community of practice that brings together scientists, risk assessors, policy experts, and food business operators—creating new pathways for collaboration, innovation, and mutual learning.
Science, Innovation, and Co-Creation at the Core
The development of the Open Digital Hub reflects FoodSafeR’s broader commitment to co-creation and interdisciplinary collaboration. Rather than working in silos, we are building tools and solutions with and for the people who will use them. This ensures their relevance, usability, and long-term impact.
Moreover, by integrating the latest scientific advances and digital technologies, the platform will allow users to anticipate and respond to microbial and chemical risks with greater precision and speed—ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and resilient food supply.
Looking Ahead
As the FoodSafeR Open Digital Hub continues to evolve, it will become a key driver of transformation in food safety systems—not only by improving technical capacity, but by strengthening the connections between people, disciplines, and institutions.
Stay tuned as we move closer to the launch of the platform and invite professionals from across the sector to join us in shaping the future of food safety.
