[EU] EFSA: EU-FORA Fellowship Programme 2026 – selection of host sites and fellows
What is it?
The European Food Risk Assessment (EU-FORA) Fellowship Programme is a key initiative for ensuring preparedness for future risk analysis needs. The programme keeps evolving based on eight years of experience, the implementation of over 120 work programmes, and the participation of more than 80 supervisors from more than 50 organisations in 18 different EU Member States and the UK and over 130 fellows that now constitute the EU-FORA Alumni.
The call seeks to identify consortia of hosting sites and fellow sending organisations, both of which must be competent organisations under Article 36 of the Regulation (EC) 178/2002, EFSA’s Founding Regulation.
The sending organisation will propose a fellow to be trained under a work programme offered by the other consortium partner, who will act as hosting site and will be responsible for the training of the fellow. Hosting sites are expected to have a strong capacity and broad experience in one or more activities relevant to food safety risk assessment.
The focus of the EU-FORA fellowship programme will be targeted to activities falling within EFSA’s remit.
