EU FP6 Specific Support Action. Young Train

The principal objective of this project is to strengthen the total food chain approach in countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean area, with particular emphasis on improving the quality and safety of meat. Specifically the proposal aims, through a programme of training seminars and workshops, at enabling early career animal scientists (ECS) recruited from the target countries to acquire knowledge that will enable them better to participate in the European Research Area. The programme will lead to the development of collaborative research proposals for the future framework programme and to improved dissemination and exploitation of research results relating to a whole food chain approach to meat safety and quality.

The project is coordinated by EAAP, with partners of
