Thus, the 7th International Congress on Food Science and Technology aims to focus on identifying new ways of thinking, effective resolution of technological problems in the food sector and intensify possible solutions through interdisciplinary scientific collaboration for dispersion of knowledge, expertise and technology.
Traditional methods have been applied in Greece for thousands of years to produce olive oil products, famous wines, dairy products (especially cheeses and yogurts) as well as processed meat and fish. In this Conference, our objective is to combine this traditional knowledge with innovation, safety, circular economy and adaptation to Industry 4.0 and A.I.
Athens is renowned worldwide for its ancient history and monuments while being a lively contemporary city that accommodates for every taste; plenty of archaeological and historical sites and museums, various entertainments including a lively nightlife, shopping, pleasant Mediterranean climate and a unique location for escaping to the beaches. The Conference will be held at the Metropolitan Expo Center, which is located nearby the Athens International airport. There are many ways to approach the most important attractions by train, bus or car.
The Organizing Committee has made every possible effort to create an informative and enjoyable programme that will include scientific sessions with oral and poster presentations, as well as, entertaining social events. The scientific programme will include a broad spectrum of subject areas on food safety, innovation, sustainability authentication, development and industrial implementations. Participants will have the chance to visit Athens’ monuments, while at the social events will have the chance to taste local delicacies under the entertaining sounds of Greek music. We look forward to seeing you in Athens on November 2025.
