The network is coordinated by a committee involving representatives from 3 universities (KU, DTU and AU), Danish Meat Research Institute and 5 companies representing pork, beef, poultry, food security, ingredients and equipment/measuring methods.
The committee meets two times each year to plan the network events. If you have ideas for events or would like to join the committee, you are more than welcome to contact the secretariat.
