GFSI Science and Technology Group – Seeking Academic Experts

The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), a Coalition of Action of The Consumer Goods Forum, is seeking academic experts to join their newly established Science and Technology Advisory Group (STAG).

• STAG was introduced to GFSI in March 2021 as part of a series of collaborative enhancements to our governance and operations, and will assume the important responsibility to provide GFSI with an expert, independent outlook on any science and technology developments that may impact GFSI’s food safety activities.

Who Can Apply?

To ensure diversity of skills and fields, we also welcome applications from experts in the fields of economics and social sciences.
