EFSA Survey Invitation: Training for Risk Assessors

National authorities are increasingly challenged by a shortage of skilled risk assessors. To assist them, EFSA is now conducting a feasibility study to understand how to best support capacity building in food safety risk assessment across Europe and harmonise the training.

We kindly ask you to fill in the survey: https://prospex.typeform.com/to/OdmSMhjN

In this short survey, max. 15 min, we will ask you about the risk assessment training you received in the past, your opinion about the best way to transfer knowledge and your views on establishing European golden standards for food/feed safety risk assessment training, such as a stand-alone Master programme (MSc-RA) or a European Excellence Label (EEL) for specific risk assessment courses. More background information is available in the survey.

We would be very grateful for your support in filling in the survey. Your feedback will be key to assess the feasibility of launching harmonised food assessment training across Europe. The survey is strictly confidential.

If you have any questions, please send them to james.cosier(at)prospex.com from Prospex, a contractor company acting on behalf of EFSA to collect and analyse the data.
