ILSI Europe was pleased to organise the 6th International Symposium on Food Packaging: Scientific Developments supporting Safety and Innovation. This event was supported by the Packaging Materials Task Force.
BEST POSTER WINNERS
CONGRATULATIONS TO DR VERA BAUMGARTNER, MS NINON PIACERE AND MR JULIEN VEYRAND FOR WINNING THE AWARD FOR BEST POSTER!!
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
The ILSI Europe International Symposia on Food Packaging are held every four years and are internationally recognised as a scientific forum to discuss the science that ensures the safety and quality of food packaging. Following the success of the 5th Symposium on Food Packaging: Scientific Developments supporting Safety and Innovation held in Berlin in November 2012, the 6th symposium was held last November 2016 and emphasized again the innovations in the area of food packaging.
This three-day conference was structured around 5 concept areas:
- Progress in Risk Assessment,
- Safety Challenges Arising from Renewable and Recycling Food Contact Materials,
- Safety-By-Design,
- Innovation Packaging and Emerging Technologies,
- Future Challenges in Food Packaging Processing and Food Processing Equipment.
The participants reviewed and debated recent advances in the science supporting the demonstration of the safety, quality and innovation of food packaging. Dissemination of results of on-going research were combined with examining the implications for the future of controlling packaging for foodstuffs.
AUDIENCE AND LANGUAGE
This multi-disciplinary meeting was of interest to those active in issues associated with the safety and quality of food packaging, particularly food scientists, chemists, mathematicians, physicists, packaging specialists, control authorities, regulators and risk assessors. It brought together those involved in basic studies, those responsible for bringing innovations to the market place, and those charged with ensuring the safety and quality of food contact materials.
VENUE
The symposium was held in Barcelona, Spain.

CONGRATULATIONS TO DR VERA BAUMGARTNER, MS NINON PIACERE AND MR JULIEN VEYRAND FOR WINNING THE AWARD FOR BEST POSTER!!
A Selection Committee composed of internationally-recognized scientists in the field of Food Packaging evaluated the posters displayed at the symposium and selected the best three posters.
Posters of the highest scientific quality were selected according to how substantial the issue they addressed was, how novel, innovative and applicable the work presented was, and whether it helped to solve any theoretical or practical problem. The Selection Committee also took into account how comprehensive, clear and consistent the work was.
The three winners were announced on 18 November in plenary before the closing remarks and received a certificate attesting of the excellence of their research. Furthermore, they have the opportunity to publish their work as a full paper together with the oral contributions in a dedicated issue of Food Additives & Contaminants Part A, provided the paper is accepted after peer-review.
Finally, the winners can choose between a waived fee for a future ILSI Europe event (e.g. 7th Food Packaging Symposium in 2020) or an invitation to present their latest research during the scientific session of an ILSI Europe’s Packaging Materials Task Force meeting in Brussels, on a mutually agreed date (travel in economy class covered up to 500 EUR + 1 night accommodation, for non-industry only). A unique opportunity to strengthen their network and increase their visibility among leading companies in the area of Packaging Materials.

Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, has a rich historic heritage and is today an important cultural and economic centre of Spain. The city's Gothic Quarter bears witness to the splendour enjoyed by the city from the 13th to the 15th centuries.
With the development of the textile industry in the mid-19th century (Renaixença period), Catalonia regained prominence and its independence from the Bourbon’s yoke.
The 20th century ushered in widespread urban renewal. Particularly renowned are the architectural works of Antoni Gaudí (La Sagrada Familia, La Casa de Batlló, La Casa Milo, Parc Guëll) and Lluís Domènech i Montaner, which have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
