The overall objective of this project was to organize and deliver high quality training courses to meet the needs identified by EFSA to implement Expert Knowledge Elicitation (EKE) approach for quantifying uncertainty in food safety risk assessment. As outcome of the project a training course was developed on ‘Steering an Expert KnowledgeElicitation’. The course covered two working days and was conducted three times during the year 2015. The three courses had 73 participants in total, whereof 17 EFSA experts, 50 EFSA Staff and 6 Network members.
