DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES (O2) AT JOŽEF STEFAN INSTITUTE OBTAINED THE COORDINATION OF THE EU PROJECT

Department of Environmental Sciences (O2) at Jožef Stefan Institute obtained the coordination of the EU project

The Department of Environmental Sciences (O2) obtained the coordination of the EU project in the MSCA ITN scheme entitled “Advanced research and Training Network in Food quality, safety and security” (FoodTraNet) for the period 2021–2025. The project coordinator is prof. dr. Nives Ogrinc. The project involves 10 partners and the support of EU industry partners from SMEs and world-renowned food organizations such as EFFoST and IUFoST. FoodTraNet will cover techniques including stable isotopes, target, suspect, non-target screening and mass spectrometry imaging to obtain the following objectives:

1. identify biomarkers and bioactive compounds to assure food quality and traceability;
   
2. characterize novel foods to support food safety and security; and
   
3. developed and characterize new products based on the latest advances in nanotechnology: edible photonic barcodes; nano-sensors; multi-functional polymer nanostructured materials; and new, active and intelligent packaging.
   

The project will also offer 4 PhD positions for students at IPS. Back to all news
