Dear Colleagues,

The European Federation of Biotechnology is pleased to invite you to the EULAFF International Workshop o­n New Opportunities for Functional Food, Wellness & Healthcare Products in Gent, Belgium o­n 8 & 9 December.

EULAFF is the European Action o­n Latin American Functional Foods, a European Commission funded project designed to foster the development of a bi-regional functional foods sector and promote industry & public sector collaboration.

A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO ANALYSE:

• What is the regulatory framework within which European industry operates? – from sourcing natural products to product marketing, what are the challenges and opportunities that national and international legislation bring in shaping the sector?
• How can Latin American research organisations deliver innovation? – what are the latest breakthroughs, how is the research community networked, what are their most pressing needs, how do they work with industry and what are the initiatives for promoting an entrepreneurial spirit?

A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO FORMULATE A COOPERATIVE ACTION PLAN:

• Focussed o­n the sustainable use of Latin American biodiversity and its conservation for the benefit of consumers, industry, the promotion of ethnobotanical knowledge and international research cooperation
