Consortium Description:
The MoniQA NoE (Network of Excellence, Contract N0. FOOD-CT-2006-36337) is coordinated by the Vienna-based ICC – International Association for Cereal Science and Technology (www.icc.or.at) and is set to receive 12.3 Mio EURO by the European Commission for its activities between 2007 and 2012 within the Sixth Framework Programme Topic T5.4.5.1: Quality and safety control strategies for food (NOE).
The initial network of over 155 scientists from 20 countries has grown to over 500 experts from over 35 countries from 5 continents in the first 42 months of the project. Some 33 institutions are represented in the consortium as core partners coming from the European Union (15 countries), Northern Africa (1), Asia Minor and Near East (2), China and Southeast Asia (3), and New Zealand (1).
The MoniQA Network has established links to relevant other Research Projects within EU’s FP 6 and FP7 and also globally to exchange information and initiate international collaborations. The MoniQA Network has invited various stakeholders with an expressed interest in international collaboration or sharing the goals and aims of MoniQA to become sign up for Associated Partnership. For the time being the Associated Partnership in MoniQA is free and no fees apply. To date some 76 institutions, companies, organisations and governmental departments have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the MoniQA Network, which offers them first hand information and alerts of food safety relevant project cooperation opportunities and MoniQA outputs, selected access to MoniQA working groups and free access to selected MoniQA online information resources and tools, including MoniQA’s database on methods, contaminants, commodities and legislation. MoniQA Associated Partners will have the option to join MoniQA Association in 2011 to become full member.
Together with the confirmed Associated Partners (membership is open to all institutions interested in supporting the aims of MoniQA), the MoniQA Network (partners and Advisory Panel) has grown to over 150 institutions from some 40 countries from Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America, Australia and the Pacific Islands.
