    What this call funds

    This call funds the development of AI tools that can rapidly analyse complex food chemistry data, known as the foodome, to identify, characterize and quantify the thousands of compounds present in food that are currently unknown or unmeasured. It aims to build a European research network connecting academia, industry and research infrastructures to standardize and share these AI results, ultimately making nutrition and food safety research more predictive and data driven.
