FoodSmartphone

The University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague (UCT Prague) participates in the new Horizon 2020 ITN project: FoodSmartphone - Smartphone analyzers for on-site testing of food quality and safety (Grant Agreement: 720325 – FoodSmartphone - H2020-MSCA-ITN) coordinated by Prof. Dr. Michel Nielen RIKILT Wageningen University & Research. The project will run from January 1, 2017, until December 31, 2020.

The consortium has been built upon highly complementary disciplines: (bio)analytical chemists, biologists, physicists, micro/nano-engineers, mathematicians, organic- and food chemists will work together on the joint supra-disciplinary goal.

FoodSmartphone offers the ESRs (early-stage researchers) an extensive programme of both mandatory and optional network-wide training events and intersectoral secondments. The scientific training in novel smartphone-based sensing technologies plus the complementary skills training provided, will have a major impact on future EU monitoring practices and, moreover, pave the road for Citizen Science.
