- The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) is the scientific body of the Federal Republic of Germany that prepares expert reports and opinions on questions of consumer health protection on the basis of internationally recognised scientific assessment criteria and then formulates courses of action for risk minimisation based on the analysis of risks. The BfR is independent in its assessments, and the findings of these assessments are made available to the public at large, the world of science and other involved or interested parties. The BfR conducts its own research based on its core fields of expertise and cooperates with other institutions, particularly those in the portfolio of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agri-culture, as well as with universities, the member states of the European Union and international partner countries. The research activities of the BfR are designed to promote the insti-tute's national and international connections. In the development of methods and procedures, the focus is on standardisation on a high scientific level, particularly in an international context. The BfR primarily conducts research in fields in which risk assessments are necessary. The generated data, methods and techniques form the basis for assessments and policy advice in line with the latest knowledge and insights. The institute's research activities also include work of a non-experimental nature. The main areas of research are based on the BfR's statutory remit and are defined every two years in a research programme. Research areas of hge BfR are: reference and consiliary laboratories, early risk detection and risk minimisation, risk communication, exposure, biological safety, food safety, safety of pesticides, chemicals and product safety, safety in the food chain, experimental toxicology and ZEBET, methods to replace and supplement animal experiments.
