A short background document of the Delphi Policy survey Collab4Safety aims to optimize the integration of research and training in food safety between the EU and its trading partners, in order to facilitate the control and mitigation of existing and emerging food risks, and to provide a sustainable platform for global integration of food safety policies. An initial step in the international coordination of research and policy in the area of food safety is the systematic assessment of existing international activities in this area. This was addressed through a Delphi Policy survey. The Delphi method is an iterative survey technique that uses expert opinion for developing understanding and problem solving within a particular field, through repeated polling of experts using anonymous questionnaires to produce a group judgment. The objectives of the Collab4safety Delphi were two-fold: (1) to inform policy recommendations regarding global harmonisation of research requirements, capacity building and policy and (2) to form the basis of a platform which will facilitate the development of global partnerships for food safety in terms of international capability and capacity building. In total n=106 experts globally completed round one of the Collab4Safety Delphi (January 2014) and n=42 provided response to round two (October 2014).
