Examples of projects :

• An INSECT thesis project: Entomophagy: Towards an assessment of the health risks-benefits associated with the consumption of insect-based products
• A European project ITN PROTECT; a collaborative project to train PhD students in modeling, with skills acquisition in quantitative risk assessment, food processes, life-cycle analysis and decision support.
• A European EFSA ALTERNATIVA project: risk-benefit assessment of the use of insect proteins to replace beef.
• A European HOLIFOOD project: An integrated approach that takes into account the whole environment in which food is produced, including economic, environmental and social aspects.
• A European SAFFI project: Healthy food for children in Europe and China - Chemical and microbiological risk assessment
