1 SCHEME Health, Food Safety and Related Policies for the Mediterranean Area (HEFSA). MISSION Our research institutions aim to produce broad perspectives on and understanding of the development of scientific activities which produce knowledge of universal value. Within the framework of the CMU-OMU Label Study Programme - collaboration between the Ondokuz Mayis University (OMU) and the Community of Mediterranean Universities (CMU)/Unesco Unitwin Chair - it has been decided to implement the Master on Health, Food Safety and Related Policies for the Mediterranean Area (HEFSA) with the collaboration also of Gianni Benzi Pharmacological Research Foundation (from now on FGB).
