EFSA is introducing a more harmonised and transparent way of accounting for the limitations in scientific knowledge– the “uncertainties” – in their scientific assessment. Its aim is to help different audiences understand this information by providing it in a more accessible language tailored to their needs.
As part of this project, the Authority is seeking feedback from science communicators who use scientific advice about food safety in their work. They are particularly interested in hearing from:
- Science communicators such as writers, editors, journalists, press and public information officers
- Social scientists and academics specialised in communication of scientific uncertainties
- Decision-makers, scientific assessors, stakeholders from the food safety and public health areas who use EFSA’s communications or those of other scientific advisory bodies at national, European or international level
Deadline for comments is 24 June 2018.
