European Beekeeping Association Seeks Applicants for Scientific Committee
The European Beekeeping Association (EBA) has announced that applications are open for membership in its Scientific Committee until May 20. The Scientific Committee's mission is to champion high quality and safety standards of bee products across Europe.
The EBA's website aims to combat adulterated honey in Europe by advocating for standardized analytical procedures and a European reference laboratory. It also seeks to safeguard consumers of bee products and enhance awareness of their nutritional advantages.
To apply, interested candidates are required to submit a brief letter (maximum 300 words) detailing their area of expertise, motivation, and references pertinent to their professional or academic contributions in the field of bee product quality and safety. The letter should be sent to eba@our website.
Typically, applying for a scientific committee involves submitting a formal application or expression of interest, often including a curriculum vitae (CV), a cover letter, and proof of relevant expertise. Candidates generally need advanced academic qualifications in relevant fields such as entomology, apiculture, agricultural science, environmental science, or related disciplines. They should also demonstrate expertise or research experience in beekeeping, bee health, pollination biology, or related areas. Prior involvement in scientific panels, committees, or relevant advisory roles can be advantageous. Familiarity with European policies or standards regarding apiculture may also be important.
The Scientific Committee will provide expert guidance to support and advance the objectives of the EBA's website. It will bring together professionals and researchers to provide scientific counsel on the safety and quality aspects of bee products. Committee members are expected to demonstrate active engagement in food safety matters, supported by references.
Ideal candidates should exhibit a comprehensive grasp of local and regional challenges within the beekeeping domain, particularly concerning the safety and quality of bee products. The committee will serve as a vital link between expert knowledge and the needs of beekeepers and consumers alike.
Dr. Urška Ratajc is the Head of the Scientific Committees at the European Beekeeping Association. For more information on the application procedure and qualifications, it would be best to directly contact the European Beekeeping Association or check their official website or communications.
