Advance Technologies in Health Surveillance (TAVS)

Support Programe for R&D of regional interest. S2013/ABI-2747. 2014-2018.




Advance Technologies in Health Surveillance
      The Advance Technologies in Health Surveillance (TAVS) programme proposes the application of emerging technologies in the Agri-food Area to improve the quality and food safety together with the eficiency in agricultural and livestock production, following the recomendations by the FAO, European Union and WHO for next decades. The programme framework covers the whole food chain according to the approach “from the farm to the fork”.

The TAVS consortium is a multidisciplinary team of 13 complementary research groups leaders in Public and Animal Health, Food Safety and Environment. They belong to five of the most renowned Spanish scientific institutions (UCM, UPM, INIA, ISCIII and CIEMAT) that have shown their success participating in two previous calls of R+D Activities Program of the CM. Moreover, the consortium is enhanced by the participation of one laboratory belonging to the RELAB, as well as public administrations, nonprofit entities and leading companies to all involved sectors, that participate as associated organisms assuring technology transfer.

The importance of the TAVS programme lies in the application of next generation systems, available in the consortium, to solve real problems of companies and administrations from different point of views, with the main objective to establish confluent and synegistic strategies to obtain effective, rapid and economically affordable solutions that covers the full complexity of the problem.

Objetives

      The objetives for the consortium TAVS are included in the Agrifood and Biotechnology Area (Area 4), and are focused in two main lines of the call: (i) Advanced technologies for production and charaterization of functional food, quality improvement and food safety and (ii) New agricultural and livestock production systems.
