The team integrates food chain safety data analysis and research along the whole food chain and takes networking in this area to a new level. DFI aims to be an internationally recognized hub of experts and researchers in the field of food chain safety data analysis.<\/p> <section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-194a4d65 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"194a4d65\" data-element_type=\"section\"> <div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"> <div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c2ba6e1\" data-id=\"c2ba6e1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\"> <div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"> <div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-516d1e97 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"516d1e97\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"> <div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"> <p>The focus of the research, development and innovation activities is to participate in national and international projects aiming at the safety of the food chain, and thus, due to the profile of the Institute, it mainly targets the following research areas related to food chain safety:<\/p> <ul> <li>Data analytics research (data mining, text mining, network mining, artificial intelligence applications)<\/li> <li>Forecasting (identifying emerging risks, epidemiological modelling)<\/li> <li>Decision-making methodological research (cost-benefit, risk-benefit analyses, risk assessment)<\/li> <\/ul> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p><strong>Research topic ideas, search for international and national partners<\/strong><\/p> <p>Since its establishment, the Institute has been actively seeking opportunities for collaboration both within and outside the University. Working relationships have been established with several universities (e.g. University of Debrecen, Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences) and for-profit organisations, businesses. The exploration of research topic ideas and the search for national and international partners is ongoing.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p><strong>Digitalization project proposals identified by DFI\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> <ul> <li>A system for early warning of food chain safety hazards and identification of emerging risks to support food business operators<\/li> <li>Systems for food chain
