More info
The Finnish Food Authority (Ruokavirasto) is Finland’s national agency responsible for ensuring food safety, animal and plant health, and promoting the quality and traceability of agricultural production. Operating under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the FFA conducts rigorous risk assessments and enforces compliance across the entire food chain — from farm to fork. Its mission is to protect public health and ensure consumer trust through evidence-based policy, research, and regulation.

Their Challenge
Assessing risks like avian influenza meant manually reviewing tens of thousands of papers — a process that could take years. Traditional keyword searches were slow, incomplete, and especially challenging in unfamiliar domains. In urgent cases, delays made timely action difficult, creating a clear need for a faster, AI-powered way to search and analyze scientific literature.

Our Solution
The Finnish Food Authority adopted RSpace™ by Iris.ai to modernize its research workflow with AI-powered literature search. Using natural language, researchers can now scan millions of scientific papers without manual keyword queries. RSpace identifies relevant content in seconds and delivers structured insights through one interface, along with summarization, topic modeling, fact extraction, and filtering — enabling faster, more accurate responses to emerging food safety issues.

What It Means for You and Your Team
When lives and public safety are at stake, traditional research can’t keep up. Whether addressing food safety, environmental risks, or public health, timely access to accurate scientific insights is critical. RSpace™ enables AI-powered searches across millions of papers in seconds — even beyond your team’s core, company, or domain expertise — delivering faster reviews, more relevant results, and decisions made when they matter most.
“Project delivery times were a critical challenge, especially when insights were time-sensitive. Manually reviewing papers on niche topics like avian flu would have been exceptionally tedious. With Iris.ai’s RSpace, we could quickly narrow down relevant papers across disciplines — a major advantage in real-time crisis situations. Even with deep expertise, our researchers face knowledge gaps across fields, so having fast access to relevant, up-to-date research is essential. Iris.ai has helped us streamline data collection and manage project delivery more effectively.”

FAQ
How long does it take to implement RSpace™?
RSpace™ is cloud-based and ready to use quickly. Onboarding typically takes just a few days, and Iris.ai provides full training and support.
How is RSpace™ different from other tools available online?
RSpace™ is built for deep, interdisciplinary science — not surface-level search. It understands your research context, not just your keywords, and helps you find meaningful insights fast — without needing to be an expert in the domain.
What kind of research questions is RSpace™ best for?
RSpace™ excels at complex, interdisciplinary questions — the kind that involve navigating vast, scattered, or unfamiliar scientific literature.
