EFSA Announces 2027 Conference
From September 29 to October 1, 2027, scientific experts, policymakers, and members of the food safety community will gather in Parma, Italy, for the European Food Safety Authority’s (EFSA's) Safe Food, One Future Conference, marking the agency’s 25th anniversary and the launch of its new Strategy 2034.
During the conference, attendees will look back at EFSA's evolution and impact, share achievements, and reflect on key collaborations with the EU institutions, Member States, and the EFSA scientific community. The agency will also explore new opportunities and challenges for food safety and risk assessment, and how to drive innovation while protecting people, animals, and the environment.
Notably, EFSA Strategy 2034 will be presented at the event, and the outcome of discussions and contributions from participants and stakeholders will support its implementation throughout 2028–2034.
Reflecting the main themes in EFSA’s September 2026 Needs for Scientific Excellence and Regulatory Readiness outline, the conference intends to convene scientists and policy experts to help the agency:
- Achieve sustainable innovation and competitiveness while tackling new challenges and opportunities
- Stay current with methodological and technical advances in regulatory science
- Effectively integrate sustainability and One Health in risk assessment
- Evolve preparedness and rapid response to new emerging risks
- Further integrate risk communication and social sciences into risk assessment
- Make efficient and trustworthy use of data, digitalization, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Registration will be opened in January 2027. The conference page will be updated with details as they become available.
