Kursdetails
The course provides an overview of two essential resources made available by EFSA to support applicants for food-regulated products: the EFSA Toolkit and the Application Procedures webpage.
The EFSA Toolkit brings together essential information to guide applicants in using the IT platforms required at the different stages of the application process: Connect EFSA, Open EFSA, and the submission portals ESFC, IUCLID, and Portalino.
The Application Procedures webpage is designed to support applicants in submitting dossiers across all food-regulated areas. Applicants can access a comprehensive description of the application process, including references to applicable regulations, guidance documents and tools.
Zielgruppe
This course is intended for applicants preparing application dossiers in any food regulated area where EFSA is involved in the scientific assessment.
It is particularly helpful for SMEs and first-time applicants, but it may also be useful for experienced applicants, consultants supporting applicants, industry associations, and other stakeholders involved in the preparation of applications.
