The purpose is to create a new Master level, "Risk assessment of xenobiotics and biotechnological products (RA-XBP)" equivalent to the second-level higher education award that it refers to the second cycle in the Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), designed by the Bologna Accords (1999) which refers to level 7 of the European Union's European Qualifications Framework. The degree requires 120 European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), and the expected learning outcomes particularly will meet those specific to the second Dublin descriptor. The aim is to present provision of training program in risk assessment based on common European criteria, easily adoptable by institutions across Europe and focusing on Risk Assessment methodology and procedure. The project focuses on understanding the profile and training requirements of risk assessors in order to design a degree covering a range of disciplines in risk assessment and providing a model to establish a recognition of risk assessors in accordance to a well-defined and properly acknowledged training standard that will be available and adopted in 2015 in all European Countries by the Committee for Standardization CEN member states (CEN TC/416).
