The annual EFFoST International conference is a highlight for many professionals working in Food Science and Technology. It is an important scientific event that brings together researchers, scientists, technologists, engineers, policymakers, 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.
