Editorial: The future of data in EFSA

摘要

Data have been at the heart of EFSA's 2020 Strategy and activities, and we continually strive to widen our evidence base and maximise access to data. As we begin developing our next strategy cycle for 2021–2027, the process of reflecting on how we currently use data and what our data landscape will look like in the future is at the forefront of our thinking. Horizon scanning and consultations with EFSA staff, experts and stakeholders are ongoing. We have also taken account of current trends and predictions in the wider global context within which food safety data, and specifically European food safety data, are used, managed and evaluated.
