On 4 November 2020, the Czech Liaison Office for Research Development and Innovation (CZELO) together with the Lithuanian Research Development and Innovation Liaison Office (LINO) organized an online event on “Food Safety – What is the role of research and innovation?”.

The main objective of the webinar was to address the role of research and innovation in delivering the European Commission and UN SDGs objectives on food safety, adaptation to climate change, and improving the tolerance of crops and livestock to stress, drought, and floods. It presented successful examples of food safety projects from the Czech Republic and Lithuania, as well as the role of the
