NEMOs Fellow Profile 

Name: Fintan Moran  

Background: Fintan Moran qualified in Commercial Horticulture from UCD and as a Barrister at Law in the Honorable Society of the Kings Inns. He lectures in Food and Bioscience Law at Technological University Dublin where he currently serves as a member of Academic Council. He devised and set up the M.Sc. Programme in Food Safety Management in 2001, based upon EU Law, the first in Ireland and one of the first in the world to specifically address food safety from an integrated techno-professional approach. In 2014 he added an international programme recruiting students from over 24 countries globally.  He has been a consultant on international food safety projects for the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (funded by the UNFAO), the University of Hue in Vietnam (funded by Irish Aid) and the Abu Dhabi Food Control Agency.  He incorporated sustainability, the UN SDSs and Data Analytics into the MSc programmes as key elements of the newly revised programme, the MSc in Sustainable Food Safety Management.
