Objectives

Objectives

To increase awareness of mycotoxins, toxigenic fungi and food safety, specifically to:

  1. maximize the relevance, outcomes and impact of MycoKey actions to the public, providing information and scientific dissemination;
  2. consolidate a productive partnership to enhance the EU-China dialogue;
  3. encourage and facilitate the participation of stakeholders, communities and end-users of MycoKey tools use;
  4. strengthen international networking and scientific cooperation on food safety.

 
Integrated communication actions will be dispersed by the whole Consortium on a continent-wide scale to enhance their impact, with high emphasis on dissemination of results to end-users, citizens, academics, consumer organisations, industry and policy makers.
