The overall aim of this strategic partnership is to train early stage researchers in the area of predictive modelling, risk assessment and LCA through a multilateral trans-European cooperation, which fosters both institutional collaboration and innovative problem based learning initiatives. To do so, Q-SAFE brings together teaching and industrial staff who are currently working on different aspects of modelling for simulation and optimisation of the quality, safety of food products and energy usage with the aim of achieving a more rounded student experience with an impact in employability of youths. Additionally, Q-SAFE´s aim is to help young scientists to build scientific networks and collaborations, and stimulate advanced research and new directions in European academia and industry. It is envisaged that at the end of this strategic partnership participants will have a clearer understanding of the quantitative tools to assess product quality, safety, resources intensity and environmental impacts in the food industry. This will enable research activities on more efficient and effective monitoring techniques and promote the employabiity of researchers with high competencies. http://www.um.edu.mt/healthsciences/projects/q-safe https://www.facebook.com/pages/QSAFE-project/668329803289823
