Early Career Researcher Event and Award
Early Career Researcher Event
Tuesday 12 October 2027
Begin your conference experience together with fellow young researchers from across the scientific community and food industry. This dedicated event provides the opportunity to get to know and connect with peers, exchange perspectives, and engage in informal, forward-looking discussions. The program is currently being finalized and is expected to feature contributions from both academia and industry. Of course, there will be drinks and some light snacks, and the gathering will transition directly into the main conference registration and welcome reception.
We encourage all early career researchers to join this relaxed, social yet professional kickstart to the conference and build a strong community among young researchers.
