The two-day FOODCOOLTOUR conference, held in Osijek on May 7th and 8th, was concluded with positive energy and strong team spirit during the B2Run business race. Among more than a thousand participants, employees of the Croatian Agency for Agriculture and Food (HAPIH) proudly joined the race once again, seizing the opportunity to connect with colleagues and strengthen team spirit
A special guest in the HAPIH team was Suzan Fiack, Head of Press and Public Relations Unit at the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), who previously participated in one of the panel discussions at the FOODCOOLTOUR conference.
After a day of continuous rain, the sky cleared just before the race began, allowing the runners to smoothly complete the 5-kilometer course along Osijek Promenade.
According to the organizers, the B2Run race has an international character and aims to promote team spirit, an active lifestyle, and a strengthened sense of belonging.
The HAPIH team’s shirts featured the creative slogan, “Food safety first – even when we’re last!” — a message that highlights the importance of food safety and its impact on our health, one of the key themes of this year’s conference, which was emphasized during panel discussions and lectures.
The connection between the B2Run business race and the FOODCOOLTOUR conference demonstrates how combining scientific topics with informal socializing can create a powerful platform for promoting important messages, exchanging ideas, and strengthening inter-institutional cooperation.
