12th
World Congress of Food Science and Technology
1620
July 2003, Chicago, Illinois, USA
For
over 40 years, the World Congress of Food Science and Technology
has fostered the international cooperation and exchange of
information among scientists, food technologists, and specialists
in order to advance current knowledge and technologies in
the areas of food processing, manufacturing, preservation,
storage and distribution.
The
theme for the 2003 congress is "Feeding the WorldOpportunities
Without Boundaries." Dr. Per Pinstrup-Andersen, 2001 World
Food Prize Laureate, will introduce the overall Congress theme
in his keynote address entitled "Feeding the World . . . Innovations
from Farm to Plate." The technical program for the congress
will consist of plenary lectures, discussion sessions related
to the plenary lectures, symposia, roundtable discussions,
student symposia, and posters.
Each
day of the congress will have a different emphasis related
to the overall theme. Thursday will focus on International
Issues, Friday on Solutions/Technology Applications, and Saturday
on Future Directions. The General Assembly of the International
Union of Food Science and Technology will be held on Sunday,
20 July. Each plenary lecture will be followed by at least
one discussion session directed to issues addressed by the
plenary lecture. Plans are for a panel to lead the discussion,
and emphasis will be on participation by those attending.
