The training will be implemented in 16 training sessions, of which:
COURSE 1: Chemical risk assessment in food
COURSE 2: Microbiological risk assessment
COURSE 3: Plant and pest protection risk assessment
COURSE 4: Risk assessment in nutrition
COURSE 5: Risk assessment in biotechnology
COURSE 6: Risk assessment applied to animal health and animal welfare
COURSE 7: Environmental risk assessment
COURSE 8: Evidence collection, management and integration

Target participants
The present training will, through the adoption of a practical approach, aim to enhance knowledge of Competent Authorities and scientists from public institutions and national authorities involved in food chain risk assessment in order to increase the level of expertise and harmonisation. To facilitate this, invited countries will be requested to select on the specific training sessions officials coming from the risk assessment field.
Dissemination
The BTSF programme is based on the “train the trainers” approach, and for this reason dissemination of the received knowledge is fundamental for the trainings to have a greater impact.
Participants will be requested to commit themselves to disseminate the information received via different methods, i.e. informing colleagues about the information received at the training, distributing the training materials, preparing informative articles in the professional national or, if possible, in international journals, preparing presentations based on the training materials for the staff of national Competent Authorities or other disseminating methods which could be appropriate to share the information received via the BTSF training. During the course participants will be provided with a training package to be used as supporting dissemination material.
