The 13th BfR-Summer Academy 2025 will be conducted by highly qualified and experienced BfR-scientists as well as external experts with profound and long-standing experience in the assessment and communication of chemical or microbial risks. The course is intended for members of staff of public organisations engaged in food and feed safety, who already have experience in risk assessment analysis.
