The University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest is a member of EFSA's collaborating organisations (Article 36 of 178/2002/EC, and we were therefore able to apply for the EU-FORA (The European Food Risk Assessment) fellowship programme as a hosting site. The aim of the programme is to promote knowledge exchange and networking between organisations that carry out risk assessment or related activities in the EU.

Our Institute has successfully won the opportunity to be a hosting partner. The fellow hosted by DFI will be selected in the second quarter of 2021, and the salary costs of the fellow will be funded by EFSA.
