After four years (and a global pandemic), FNS-Cloud will launch the first generation cloud-solution for food data in Brussels (BE).

This workshop was a guided hands-on tour of the FNS Cloud including searching for data on food intake, food labelling, food traceability, and healthy microbiome.

This session introduced FNS-Cloud and explored how FNS-Cloud is bringing activities together under three demonstrators, specifically Agri-food data and tools (DEM01), Nutrition & Lifestyle (DEM02), and Non-communicable diseases and microbiome (DEM03). 

The session brought together representatives from EuroFIR, METROFOOD, Blue Cloud, COMFOCUS, Elixir, ECRIN, FNHRI, EOSC to explore future FAIRification of food sector data, tools and services.

This workshop introduced the pillars of Open Science, while focusing on open data and open access publishing for food and nutrition scientists. It was hosted by Katherine Flynn (IFA, AT) and Edward Sliwinski (EFFoST, NL). 

This symposium introduced FNS-Cloud and explored some of the first outputs. It focused on existing (use cases) and emerging (field trials) data, and how these will form the basis of three demonstrators, facilitating better re-use and exploitation of knowledge as well as boosting confidence and building capacity through training and education resources.

This session considered outputs from several EU- and otherwise-funded projects and is suitable for food scientist, engineers, and technologists, whether academia or industrial, as well as developers and those working consumer services.

Improving food security and nutrition is a key global challenge. Fish and other aquatic products provide significant amounts of food, income, and employment. To provide data-driven support for decision- and policy-makers in Europe and beyond, Blue-Cloud and FNS-Cloud launched a collaboration in April 2020, contributing to the understanding of the importance of fish to local and global food systems.
