The EFFoST International Conference is an important scientific event that brings together researchers, scientists, engineers, policy makers, professionals and students from multidisciplinary food-related fields. Our conferences inspire a cross-pollination of new knowledge, ideas and applications. Additionally, it promotes networking and collaboration and it enhances academia and industry synergism in the quest for sustainable food innovations for the global economy and society. Every year the EFFoST conference is well attended due to its full programme that covers a broad subject matter.
