Regulatory Science is a concept that develops tools, standards, and approaches to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and performance of general foods and health functional foods, and is utilized for decision-making in regulation. It has recently been introduced as a curriculum in domestic universities.

The lecture topic was 'The Necessity of Nurturing Regulatory Science Talent in the Next Normal Era,' covering the directions of regulatory science domestically and internationally and the importance of cultivating regional regulatory science personnel.

The special lecture also included content on regulatory science strategies in the United States and the European Union, as well as the expected effects in the private and public sectors following the introduction of regulatory science in Korea.

After the lecture, a session was held for free discussion with Commissioner Kim, providing an opportunity for participants to exchange opinions.

Professor Lim Mu-hyuk of the Department of Food Engineering said, “It was a beneficial special lecture that made us realize that nurturing talent related to regulatory science is a very important factor in academia and industry,” adding, “I hope it serves as an opportunity to understand the somewhat unfamiliar concept of regulatory science in Korea.”
