Scientific projects
The Food Control Group conducts various research activities with the aim of finding practical solutions to challenges in the food chain. Our work is guided by a scientific approach and rigorous methodology. In our projects, we collect and analyze large amounts of data, which we use to address complex scientific and practical questions.
Our team consists of researchers and doctoral students with multiple PhD degrees, and we maintain active collaborations with universities and research institutes. Our key partners include the Department of Food Hygiene at the University of Veterinary Medicine and the Doctoral School of Management and Organizational Sciences at Neumann János University.
