Food and Health, Food Safety, Market Studies or Livestock. Then select
the area you are interested in. e.g. beef, cheese. In some instances you can narrow
your search by selecting properties etc. Now you can choose
‘What you want?’ i.e. projects, researchers (experts), workshops or documents.
Quick search is a text based search that can find
information based on words not included in the focused search.
Projects database includes the full list of projects
based on their research theme. Each project has an overall project description and
a link to researchers, institutes/ universities and project updates.

of expertise, strategic equipment and facilities, projects and researchers based
