Introduction
The International Life Sciences Institute is an international, non-profit organization that
was founded in 1978. ILSI headquarters is located in Washington, D.C., and has a
structure with regional branches in different parts of the world: Argentina, Brazil, North
Andean, South Andean, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Northern Africa and the
Gulf Region, North America, South Africa, Southeast Asia Region (including Australasia),
in addition to a focal point in China.
Affiliated with the World Health Organization (WHO) as a non-governmental organization
and holding specialized consulting status with Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)
of the United Nations, ILSI has advanced in its activities to achieve the mission of helping
to provide technical and scientific data that impact public health in addition to
improving life quality standards for the different populations.
Such a challenge brings scientists from the academia, government, and industry to a
neutral forum with the purpose of stimulating and improving scientific knowledge
advance in Nutrition, Food Safety, Risk Assessment, Toxicology, and Environment. ILSI
plays this social role through research, the organization of workshops and symposiums,
and the production of publications translated into many languages, thus disseminating
information to thousands of people who may be interested.
ILSI’s strengths are based on its renowned scientific structure, its international reach, its
programs in different countries, and the recognition by governmental agencies, thus
assembling a worldwide network of scientists through collaborative partnerships to
promote global cooperation and harmonization in nutrition and science-based food
regulation.
The foundation of ILSI Brasil in 1990 coincided with the cholera outbreak in the American
continent. ILSI’s groundbreaking activity in Brazil was an international seminar that
brought together over 500 attendees and resulted in the publication of a book capturing
all of the discussions for preventing and controlling the disease.
ILSI’s activities follow a similar format in all countries. They are structured based on
Scientific Committees and Task Forces. The objective is to stimulate awareness and to fill
the gaps in scientific data that impact public health through open dialogue and
cooperation.
The Committees include representatives from the academia and from industry. In
December, 2010, 37 affiliated companies brought together the major players in the food
and environmental industry. Together, they maintain close involvement with the
government by promoting awareness of science.
