This project will enable closer collaboration with the research organizations with which METROFOOD-RO is built, as well as with organizations within METROFOOD-RI. The national organization will be similar, as much as possible, to the European level within METROFOOD-RI, with minor specifics due to the complexity of the network, which will allow the Romanian node to function more easily. The sustainability of the METROFOOD-RO network will also be based on the architecture of the infrastructure we want to develop through various projects, on the development of services that we identify as necessary both at the national level and at the METROFOOD-RI and European level. METROFOOD-RO will provide knowledge and technology transfer through R&D services, laboratory analyses, consultancy and technical assistance, specialized professional training, etc., to actors in the food chain.
