The aim of the MoniQA FST on „Reference materials and method validation in food safety assurance” is to describe the problems and challenges involved in the international comparability and validity of analytical results in the assurance of food safety and quality. On the basis of practical examples the focus will be on current hot topics, such as mycotoxins, food allergens, pathogenic micro-organisms, GMOs, etc., the analytical possibilities (including rapid methods), and the corresponding regulations. Additionally, an overview of international standardization bodies and examples of international validation studies will be given. In connection to the MoniQA FST - "Reference Materials and Method Validation" the Communication Training "Presentation Skills and Introduction to Media Relations" will enable participants to improve their presentation skills generally, and increase their understanding of the relationship between science and the media.
