vii) Explore opportunities for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) 9  approaches in the area of ERA, including data extraction and integration of information from different sources. The tenderer needs to be available to be interviewed by a contractor (still to be identified through a separate call for tenders) preparing the roadmap for action on artificial intelligence in evidence management in risk assessment. 

## Objective 4: Identifying challenges and blockers 

i) Identify potential challenges and blockers to build PERA and for the transition to next generation, systems-based ERA based on the outcome of Objective 2 and 3; 

ii) Assess the impact of challenges and blockers (see objective 4.i, above) for EFSA’s vision as defined in the theme paper (Annex 3) and potential partners; 

iii) Explore feasible alternatives to overcome challenges and blockers (see objective 4.i, above). 

iv) Explore if the outcome of objectives 2, 3 and 4 result in a revised problem formulation for the implementation of PERA and transition to next generation systems-based ERA, previously defined under objective 1, and provide recommendations for integrating the identified gaps (e.g. work areas). 

## Objective 5: Assessing cooperation/collaboration opportunities 

i) Identify opportunities for pertinent cooperation/collaboration with potential partners outlined in the theme paper and any additional potential partner(s) identified; 

ii) Perform an analysis of the added value and benefits of pertinent cooperation/collaboration opportunities (see objective 5.i, above), as well as possible challenges of the identified potential partnership(s). 

## Objective 6: Prioritising working areas and possible partners 

i) Prioritise/rank working areas based on new EU policy targets (in terms of the Green Deal and associated strategies and action plans), and development needs and opportunities identified in previous objectives; 

ii) Prioritise/rank key opportunities, and possible partners based on the outcomes of objective 5.i, above. Also consider the Article 36 list of competent organisations 10 designated by EU Member States to assist EFSA with tasks within the field of its mission;
