ARE YOU UP TO THE TASK?

EFSA has launched a new type of grant that will give us access to your expertise, and give you the chance to work more 
closely with us in safeguarding food safety in Europe.

TASKING
GRANTS

Our TASKING GRANTS enable our valued Article 36 partners to support us in our day-to-day scientific 
activities.

This new type of grant is different because EFSA specifies the process or expertise required rather 
than Article 36 organisations proposing a specific project. EFSA focuses the tasking grants on these 
areas:

Establish working processes to allow EFSA to meet the requirements of new legislation
Example:  safety assessment of novel foods and traditional foods   

from third countries.

Get expertise not available in EFSA to fulfil a specific mandate/task.

Example:  expertise on whole genome sequencing of zoonotic    

microorganisms.

Develop guidance or methodologies.

Example:  drafting of new guidance on endocrine disruptors in  

pesticides.
