The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is the keystone of European Union (EU) risk assessment regarding food and feed safety, animal health and welfare, plant health and environment. In close collaboration with national authorities and in open consultation with its stakeholders, EFSA provides independent scientific advice and clear communication on existing and emerging risks grounded in the most up-to-date scientific methodologies and data available. Its scientific advice underpins the policies and decisions of risk managers in the European Institutions and EU Member States.

EFSA brings together Europe’s best available experts in risk assessment in the field of food and feed safety, animal health and welfare, plant health and environment, who act in an independent capacity for an autonomous, self-governed organisation to provide the European Institutions and the Member States with scientific advice of the highest standard.

The Authority is committed to the core standards of scientific excellence, openness, transparency, independence and responsiveness. By working independently, openly and transparently EFSA delivers the best possible scientific advice and therefore contributes to strengthening the European food and feed safety system.

For more information regarding EFSA, please refer to its Founding Regulation: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CONSLEG:2002R0178:20090807:EN:PDF

3.   The role of EFSA’s Scientific Committee and Scientific Panels

The Scientific Committee and Scientific Panels are responsible for providing the scientific opinions of the Authority and other advice as appropriate, each within their own spheres of competence. They produce scientific opinions and advice for risk managers. This helps to provide a sound foundation for the formulation of European policies and legislation and this supports risk managers in taking decisions.

The Scientific Panels are normally composed of twenty-one (21) independent scientific experts. The Scientific Committee is composed of the Chairs of each Scientific Panel and six scientific experts.

Members of the Scientific Committee and of the Scientific Panels are appointed for a three-year term of office that may be renewed twice. Members are expected to attend and contribute actively to the meetings of the Scientific Committee, Scientific Panels or its working groups, where opinions, statements or guidance documents are adopted.

These scientific opinions, statements and guidance documents are published in the EFSA Journal, a monthly publication which is indexed in bibliographic databases (e.g. CAB Abstracts, Food Science and Technology Abstracts, ISI Web of Knowledge) relevant to EFSA’s work.

Applicants are referred to Annex I published on EFSA’s website to consult the detailed description of the remit of the Scientific Committee and Scientific Panels.

Applicants are advised to give careful consideration to ANNEX I when preparing their applications. In the context of the evaluation on whether they meet the selection requirements (see section 5 below), due consideration will be given to the suitability of the applicants’ profiles in relation to the remit of the Scientific Committee and Scientific Panels.

For more information regarding the selection of Members of the Scientific Committee and the Scientific Panels please refer to the ‘Decision of the Executive Director concerning the selection of members of the Scientific Panels, the Scientific Committee and the selection of External Experts to assist EFSA with its scientific work’.

Attendance at the meetings of the Scientific Panels, the Scientific Committee or of the working groups requires some degree of preparatory work, including prior reading and drafting of documents. Meetings and most documents are in English.

In order to complement their experience, members will be offered different training modules as well as follow-up information tutorials, on EFSA risk assessment methodologies and guidance documents. Members are strongly recommended to attend these sessions.

As part of EFSA’s commitment to openness and transparency, plenary meetings of the Scientific Committee and Scientific Panels may be open to observers and might be recorded or streamed over the internet.

Applicants are required to express their commitment that, if appointed, they will actively participate in the activities of the Scientific Committee or of the Scientific Panels.

EFSA will, in accordance with its financial rules, bear the travel costs, daily and accommodation allowance of the members. A special indemnity will be paid for each full day of meeting attendance (2).
