Fraunhofer to become a new BfR research partner
BfR
Topics of the future collaboration between the BfR and Fraunhofer Food Chain Management Alliance are research issues concerning the logistics, traceability, contamination and analysis of food. In a globalised world with global goods flows, the main challenges for food safety along the food chain, all the way from the field to the plate, are to be found in this area.
Within the scope of the research partnership, specialised events are to be conducted jointly, and mutual research projects planned, applied for and realised. In addition to this, the partners aim to intensify the transfer of knowledge. With these measures, the available resources of the partners involved are to be used in a cooperative manner which creates synergies, especially in the various areas of food research.
The BfR and the institutes of the Fraunhofer Food Chain Management Alliance have already been cooperating in individual projects for many years. This collaboration is to be intensified with the cooperation agreement. The Fraunhofer Food Chain Management Alliance consolidates the activities of the Fraunhofer Society in the field of food research and sees itself as the interface between public national and international funding agencies and the food industry. As a federal government institute which is completely independent in its health assessment work, including the area of food safety, the BfR forms the interface to politics.
