Cereals & Europe Spring Meeting 2013

On behalf of the Organising and Scientific Committees, we kindly invite you to join us at the “Cereals & Europe Spring Meeting 2013”. The meeting is hosted by the Laboratory of Food Chemistry and Biochemistry of the KU Leuven and the Leuven Food Science and Nutrition Research Centre (LFoRCe) and will take place May 29 to 31, 2013 in Leuven (Belgium).

The C&E Spring Meeting 2013 is entitled “Unlocking the full potential of cereals: Challenges for science based innovation”. It aims at providing a science platform to present the latest cereal research and to discuss different aspects of cereals related to new technologies in cultivar development, food processing, properties of ingredients and constituents, nutritional aspects, end product analytics as well as structure-function relationships. The conference addresses scientists and representatives of the cereal industry and academia from all over the world, bringing together experts from different areas of cereal research including biotechnology, food chemistry, biochemistry, physics, biophysics, technology, processing, quality and nutrition. By doing so, the C&E Spring Meeting 2013 offers a broad spectrum of cereal topics and brings together multidisciplinary perspectives in order to fully unlock the potential of cereals in addressing the present challenges for future science based innovation.

The following pages will provide you with all necessary information on the Meeting’s programme, registration, abstract submission, housing, etc.
