ECS Event

About the event

In collaboration with DTU Skylab from Denmark Technical University, ILSI Europe is organising an event for Early Career Scientists (ECS) focussed on sustainable food systems. The event offers a great opportunity for young scientists to present their work, network and expand their knowledge about important topics related to food sustainability. It is also offers a chance for industry and academic experts to discover a new pool of talent and gain a fresh point of view on the research this area.

If you are an Early Career Scientist (student, PhD candidate, or practising scientist who received their highest certificate (e.g. BSc, MSc or PhD) within the past ten years) and work within this nexus, we would like to hear from you! We welcome abstracts from researchers working on food waste and by-products valorisation, soil health or the sustainable design of products and processes for oral and poster presentations.

Our career development session promises an interactive exploration of opportunities to propel young scientists' careers forward. Delve into funding possibilities, entrepreneurial ventures, and other pathways to professional growth. Gain valuable insights, resources, and guidance to navigate your career journey with confidence and clarity.

Stay tuned for more details on this exciting event designed to empower and support early career scientists on their path to success.

The ILSI Europe Annual Symposium (IEAS) is a gathering of experts from around the world who meet to shed light on the current and future challenges in food safety, nutrition and sustainability. It is also an opportunity for experts from academia, industry and public sector to take part in the debate around those topics and create connections.

The theme of the 2024 edition is "Nourishing Resilience: Adapting to Global Changes and Future Food Landscape".

Join us on 27 November in Lyngby as we explore opportunities and challenges of applied AI in the Food and Drink sector, nutrition solutions for healthy ageing, innovations for food safety and resilience, and our future food landscape. Take part in an interactive panel discussions, expand your knowledge and forge collaborations during this unique networking opportunity.
