Europe’s collaborative approach is mutually beneficial to scientists from industry, academia, and the public sector. Dozens of large and small companies from the food and food-related sectors benefit from ILSI Europe’s network of the world’s leading scientists.

How these Task Forces work together 

The 15 Task Forces are the engine of ILSI Europe’s programme: they initiate, develop and manage activities delivered via Expert Groups, EU-funded collaborations, workshops and conferences. 

The current 2026 portfolio confirms the two-family structure (Nutrition & Health; Safety & Quality) and highlights new Expert Groups on forward-looking topics (e.g., postbiotics in early life, prebiotics in women’s health, PFAS risk recalibration).
