The symposium will bring together experts from academia and industry to discuss the challenges and opportunities in packaging safety testing. “Advances in recycling and reuse make the safety assessment of packaging more complex than ever,” adds Rainer. The FH Campus Vienna not only offers further training on these topics, but also two bachelor's and one master's degree courses in packaging technology and sustainability in order to train specialists for the future of the industry, as the details show fh-campuswien.ac.at show.

The FH Campus Vienna, the largest university of applied sciences in Austria with over 8,000 students and various degree programs, has set itself the goal of finding sustainable solutions in the field of packaging technology through practical research and development. These efforts are critical because the safety of packaging materials affects not only food safety, but also the health and cosmetics industries.
