2014 National Science Foundation Workshop on Food Safety-Global Supply Chain Research Needs

拟议的研讨会的目标是提供一个论坛，就食品安全研究、教育和技术转让的前沿领域传播信息和分享想法。研讨会将讨论食品安全技术的现状和未来潜力，分析未来潜力与当前现实之间的差距，并确定为缩小差距需要在研究、教育和技术转让领域做些什么。研讨会将于2014年10月29日至30日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市举行，为期两天。研讨会将涵盖四个主题：1)流程，2)。全球趋势，3)。包装，4)。供应网络风险管理。每位发言者都是演讲专题方面的专家，他们将介绍某一具体专题领域的最新情况，并就该领域的未来方向和需要提出自己的看法。本次研讨会将有最多75人参加，其中包括应邀的演讲者和主持人以及来自学术界、工业界和政府的其他利益攸关方。发言者提出并从讨论中产生的想法将在最后的项目报告中加以总结。本报告将分发给所有研讨会参与者和相关资助机构，并广泛分发给行业、政府和学术界利益攸关方。

The objective of the proposed workshop is to provide a forum for disseminating information and sharing ideas about the frontiers of Food Safety research, education, and technology transfer. The workshop will discuss the current state-of-the-art and future potential of Food Safety Technology, analyze the gaps between the future potential and the present reality, and identify what needs to be done in the areas of research, education, and technology transfer in order to close the gaps. This workshop will be a two-day event on October 29-30, 2014 in Alexandria, Virginia. The workshop will cover four themes: 1) Processes, 2). Global Trends, 3). Packaging, and 4). Supply Network Risk Management. Each speaker, who is an expert on the presentation topic, will introduce the state-of-the-art of a specific topic area as well as present his/her views on the future directions and needs in that area. This workshop will have up to 75 participants, including the speakers and moderators to be invited and other stakeholders from academia, industry, and government. The ideas presented by the speakers and generated from the discussion sessions will be summarized in the final project report. This report will be delivered to all workshop participants and relevant funding agencies as well as disseminated widely to industry, government, and academic stakeholders.
