Welcomte to IUFoST-Japan Online Events

IUFoST-Japan was founded as a branch in Japan of the International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST) to achieve several goals including the cooperation with IUFoST, strengthening of collaboration among academic societies involved in food science and technology in Japan, etc. IUFoST holds the IUFoST World Congress every 2 years, and IUFoST-Japan funds young researchers to support travel expenses for attending the congress. The 2022 Congress was held in Singapore between October 31 and November 3, and IUFoST-Japan dispatched young researchers who had been recommended for the funding from the domestic academic societies.

IUFoST-Japan has held online international seminars to promote internationalization. The 1st International Seminar was successfully held on March 12, 2021 with more than 200 participants from Japan and abroad. The 2nd International Seminar on Food Functionality and the 3 rd International Seminar on Food Processing were held on March, 2022, and then the 4th International Seminar on Food Measurement and Characterization and 5th International Seminar on Food Functionality were held on March 10, 2023. This fiscal year, we are pleased to announce the 6th International Seminar and 7th International Seminar will be held on March 15, 2024.

The two programs are shown on the following pages. We hope that you will be able to attend these International Seminars to learn not only the specific scientific subjects but also the activities of IUFoST-Japan, particularly the support of future international activities of young researchers and practitioners. We would also appreciate if you could introduce the seminar to other researchers and students in your area so that they can attend. Participation in the conference is free of charge.
