This Symposium is organized in the framework of the Belgian Presidency of the EU Council. Nanotechnology is a novel technology with many promising applications emerging for the areas of agriculture and food (smart packaging, agrochemicals, etc.). It has the potential to bring significant benefits to both the industry and consumers, but may also introduce potential risks for human health and the environment. The Symposium will present the current knowledge regarding these applications, opportunities and risks of nanotechnology in the food chain, but will also consider the gaps in knowledge, legislation and control methods, in order to inform an international audience of policy makers, consumers, researchers, industrial representatives, etc. Complete information on the Symposium and the program may be found on this site. We thank you for your interest in this Symposium and will appreciate your participation. We are looking forward to meet you in November. Yours faithfully, Ir. Gil HOUINS Chief Executive Officer Belgian Food Safety Agency Prof. Em. Dr. Ir. A. HUYGHEBAERT President of the Scientific Committee of the Belgian Food Safety Agency
