There are ongoing efforts to modernise food safety controls in Europe and in light of these, it is paramount that ECVPH residents are familiar with newest developments in this regard, in research, policy and everyday FBOs work in food production. This course will build up on the basics that each resident should have and introduce them to new concepts and their applications through practical examples. Prior to the start of this course, residents will be given reading material related to the course content. The course will be structured and delivered over five full days online (Monday to Friday), usually three hours of didactic learning in the morning and then three hours of work afternoon in small groups on practical assignments and group discussions facilitated by the lecturer.
Finaly the groups will present their findings to each other in a form of large group discussion. The course would therefore be a mixture of lectures, coursework and discussion groups. With the preparation (reading) prior to the course, it will count 2 ECTS towards residents’ training programmes.
