CONffIDENCE: Rapid tests for contaminants

3rd Open Day

3 November 2011

During the 5th International Symposium on Recent Advances in Food Analysis (RAFA 2011), held from 1- 4th November 2011 in Prague Czech Republic, the CONffIDENCE project held its 3rd Open Day together with a poster session. The Open Day with the title “Rapid tests for contaminants” was organized on Thursday the 3rd of November.

During the RAFA 2011 oral sessions 6 and 7 entitled Rapid methods I and II respectively, the CONffIDENCE results were presented through 5 oral presentations, giving an overview of CONffIDENCE, the industrial needs regarding rapid tests for contaminants, and key results obtained thus far for persistent organic pollutants (POP’s), heavy metals and alkaloids. In the afternoon, a poster session was held where 24 posters and 7 demonstration activities regarding the CONffIDENCE outputs were presented by various project members. The combination of posters, demonstration activities and oral presentations proved to be effective in generating interest and stimulating discussions with the audience. Approximately 150 participants attended to the Open Day.
