International Food &
Water Research Centre
World-class laboratory facilities and support to help advance global research in food and water safety, food quality management, nutrition improvement and environment protection.
Our Mission
Innovative research is essential to the future safety and sustainability of our food and water supplies.
At the International Food and Water Research Centre (IFWRC), we believe in providing access to the most advanced specialty instrumentation, scientific minds, and funding options, in order to support meaningful projects and enable valuable research to be undertaken quickly and effectively.
Our goal is to help qualifying labs make use of the right instrumentation at the right time, and connect them with researchers through a network of industry and academic experts, as well as with on-site staff specialists. With this support, we expect new ideas and hypotheses to emerge that will further advance food and water safety research across the globe.
