UPCOMING CONFERENCES (ATTENDED BY ELSEVIER)

Food Micro 2006 - 20th International ICFMH Symposium on food safety and food biotechnology: diversity and global impact
August 29-September 02, 2006
Alma Mater Studiorum, Bologna, Italy

Food microbiology has grown into a discipline in which pure science (from genomics to transcriptomics, to stress response, to microbial physiology) is strongly intertwined with applied science (microbial ecology, predictive microbiology, microbiology of fermented products). The symposium will concentrate around four major topics: Food microbes “omics”: from genes to traits, food microbiology and safety, food biotechnology and counting the uncountable: predictive and descriptive methods in food microbiology.

A Sense of Diversity: 2nd European Conference on Sensory Consumer Science of Food and Beverages
26-29 September 2006
World Forum Convention Centre, The Hague, The Netherlands


Diversity is everywhere in the world of food. Consumers differ in their sensory sensitivity, in their liking for and their expectations of food and even the same person will have different food preferences and expectations in different situations. Food habits are very diverse, especially in Europe with its many different cultural traditions. Notwithstanding all this diversity, our research methods are often still directed at making global food products for average consumers. It is time to take diversity seriously both scientifically and as an approach to consumers; this is precisely what this conference intends to do and the organisers invite you to present and discuss data and methods that highlight aspects of diversity. Selected papers from this conference will be published in a special issue of Food Quality and Preference.

It will particularly focus on developments that affect consumer (quality) perception of (processed) dairy products. The conference aims to bring together experts from the fields of flavour, microbiology, biochemistry, processing and sensory science to identify new ideas and routes that boost product development with improved consumer-preference and -acceptance and sustain innovations in dairy. Selected papers from this conference will be published in a special issue of International Dairy Journal.
