Description

Objective:

Only competent organisations, based on designations by Member States, are eligible to apply to the call.

The call seeks to identify consortia of hosting sites and fellow sending organisations, both of which must be competent organisations under Article 36 of the Regulation (EC) 178/2002, EFSA’s Founding Regulation. The sending organisation will propose a fellow to be trained under a work programme offered by the other consortium partner, who will act as hosting site and will be responsible for the training of the fellow. Hosting sites are expected to have a strong capacity and broad experience in one or more activities relevant to food safety risk assessment. The focus of the EU-FORA fellowship programme will be targeted to activities falling within EFSA’s remit.
