ISEKI-_Food workshops

The 3rd ISEKI_Food Conference will be complemented by two workshops. The aim of these two workshops are to give a special attention to the most relevant research that is carried out within the PhD courses and to discuss about the main issues of the labour market perspectives of the PhD graduates in an open framework where research, academia and industry representatives will be involved.

The two workshops will be focused on the following topics

-         “State of Research in the Field of Food Science and Technology": presentation of PhD student research activities“ This workshop will include some presentations given by eminent scientists on main research issues and the oral contributions of PhD students willing to present the results of their studies in an international context. The oral presentations of the PhD students will be selected from the abstracts that will be submitted online according to the instruction reported under the section “abstract submission”


-         “Industry meets Academia and PhD programmes” This workshop will include the presentations given by both industry representatives along with those given by PhD students whose researches are highly industry oriented. The oral presentations of the PhD students will be selected from the abstracts that will be submitted online according to the instruction reported under the section “abstract submission”

We are looking for awards to support the PhD students whose abstracts will be selected for oral presentations. Soon more information about this aspect will be made available in this page.

Greek Lipid Forum organized in collaboration with ISEKI_Food 4

The workshop will be focused on the topic:
"Product development - Case studies related to innovative lipid foods"
The development of new products will be discussed, taking into consideration the use of new technologies and ingredients. Several case studies related to lipid foods will be presented, and aspects related to quality and shelf life prediction will be discussed. Particulat attention will be given to olive oil products and functional ingredients. The Oil Industry is one of the most important sectors of Greek industry, and particularly the olive oil is a highly nutritious product that needs wider international recognition and promotion.

The Greek Forum for the Science and Technology of Lipids (Greek Lipid Forum http://www.greeklipidforum.gr), was founded in December 2003 and is a member of the European Federation for the Science and Technology of Lipids (Euro Fed Lipid). The aim is to bring together all Greek scientists and technologists working in the field of lipids and provide a fertile platform for dialogue and exchange views on promoting science and technology of lipids. The communication and cooperation of all stakeholders highlight the research results and contribute to the development of the industry. The collaboration with the European Federation for the Science and Technology of Lipids contribute to information on developments in Europe and highlights the achievements of Greek scientists in the European area.
The workshop is sponsored by ΕΛΑΪΣ Unilever

Connect4action

“Supporting dialogue for successful food innovations”
This workshop will serve as a forum to discuss communication issues during the food innovation process. This includes consumer needs and preferences, innovative ideas in a multi-disciplinary environment, and promoting novel food technologies for a commercial success of new food products. As part of the EU-funded project Connect4Action, a toolbox intended for actors involved in the food innovation process has been developed (click here) (full link: http://www.connect4action.eu/toolbox). During the workshop, these tools and the training programmes will be presented and feedback will be gathered from participants, by means of break-out sessions and round table discussions.

This workshop is targeted at food technologists and consumer scientists with experience in food technology innovation, both from a technology and consumer research point of view. The idea is to help improve communication along the entire food chain during any product or technological innovation.
