This is an interactive seminar programme with direct participation of the students.

Starting with fundamental tools of risk management related to food safety as an introductory part, actual topics are dealt with in typical role plays. For example, chemical, microbiological or physical hazards are in the focus of case studies, where student teams act under simulated practical conditions and under moderation of supervisors. To accomplish this role play, established E-learning tools are utilized for communication as well as studying.
