NoWe are seeking innovative research proposals that aim to contribute to advances in food safety risk assessment through open and data-driven approaches, supporting more informed decision-making across the food supply chain.Keep in mind that supervisors are not allowed to get involved in the project proposal preparation.ContextThe advances in sensor and information technologies, coupled with increased computational capabilities, have resulted in a substantial growth in the volume and diversity of data available in the food sector. This includes real-time sensor data generated through Internet of Things technologies, as well as historical datasets and information from public databases. While the exploitation of such data has already enabled significant advances in other domains, such as Industry 4.0, its potential application to enhance food safety remains relatively underexplored.The problem to addressDespite the increasing availability of large and diverse data sources in the food sector, effectively exploiting this information to support food safety risk assessment remains a major challenge. Key difficulties include the integration of heterogeneous data, the handling of uncertainty and complexity, and the translation of analytical outputs into forms that can meaningfully support decision-making within food industry contexts.ObjectivesApproaches for integrating informa
