The First European Food Congress will bring together food/nutrition professionals from throughout Europe and from non-European food related societies to achieve the following aims:

• to convince European food professionals that they need and deserve to have such a congress for a regular review of the European state-of-art in food science, technology
  and nutrition.
• to build a stronger and more coherent view on food issues.
• to collect, exchange and disseminate knowledge and experience in this  comprehensive field in Europe.
• to make an appropriate linking to European producers and distributors on issues of food importance, particularly concerning safety, quality and novelty of solutions to satisfy consumers needs.
• to make an appropriate linking to European policy makers regarding issues of food
  importance, particularly concerning health, environment, technology and consumers issues.
• to make an appropriate linking to European educators regarding relevant issues of food and nutrition.

The congress offers a stimulating five-day programme that is pan-European (including 44 European countries – from east to west, north to south) and comprehensive (covering all food systems - from farm to consumer).

The programme will be comprised of plenary lectures, symposia, sessions, workshops, round tables, exhibition, posters and also informal meetings to encourage networking and future opportunities for work in food area.
