Eurofins International Seminar 2011

Brussels, Belgium, May 10-11, 2011

The Eurofins International Seminar is being held in the heart of Brussels at the Crowne Plaza - Le Palace Hotel. This year it offers a flexible programme with two main themes - Food Safety Solutions and Biotech Developments - running at the same time.

A dedicated plenary session to Biotech Developments will provide an update on the worldwide situation of genetically modified crops and a focus on international and European regulation, with specific reference to the Black Sea countries. The latest tools for GM detection and monitoring will be reviewed both in the plenary session and in an interactive breakout session.

The Food Safety Solutions theme will cover the latest hot topics, with a look at the global challenges facing the food industry, rapidly evolving legislation and cutting-edge analytical tools for detecting food contaminants. The breakout sessions will provide the opportunity to keep abreast of concerns arising from migration from food packaging, and a chance to debate with the specialists on what makes a cost-effective food safety monitoring programme.
