Description
Objective:
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.
