For many years, this conference has been the perfect platform for bringing together the scientific, industrial and regulatory communities, dealing with the assessment of pesticide residues in food. Learn about the latest developments in risk assessment, the setting of maximum residue limits as well as regulatory and guideline updates.
The popular Akademie Fresenius Conference “Food Safety and Dietary Risk Assessment” enters its next round: It is the place to be to receive all the latest updates, to meet your peers and to join important discussions in a comfortable conference atmosphere. Reason enough for many participants to attend regularly every year. So don’t miss out to secure your place for this year’s event!
The Conference will be taking place in Dusseldorf/Germany on 25 and 26 April 2024.
You can also follow all the exciting contributions via our live stream!
