Join us at the 38th EFFoST International Conference 2024 which will be hosted by KU Leuven and UGent and will be held in the city of Bruges, Belgium from 12-14 November 2024.
Considering the quintuple innovation helix framework, which involves university-industry-public-environment-government interactions, EFFoST2024 wants to promote interdisciplinary collaboration within the food sector. The conference strives to contribute to the overarching objective of generating sufficient, safe, nutritious and sustainable food with high consumer acceptance, for all individuals worldwide in line with the ‘one health’ concept as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO).
EFFoST2024 will explore the theme ‘Future Food Systems: Innovation through Progress at Scientific Interfaces’.
This theme culminates in five sub-themes describing the interdisciplinary food technology challenges EFFoST2024 wants to particularly focus on:
- Subtheme 1: Human interface
- Subtheme 2: Raw material interface
- Subtheme 3: Micro-organism interface
- Subtheme 4: Sustainability interface
- Subtheme 5: Computer science interface
