IAEF Members

The 12th International Congress on Engineering and Food (ICEF12) will be held in Québec City at the Québec City Convention Centre, Canada, from June 14-18, 2015.

The goal of ICEF12 It consists in the exchange of new scientific knowledge in the field of food technologies and the promotion of interaction between scientists, industrial and government customers. Congress is looking for new ways to innovate in a rapidly changing food industry.

ICEF12 we will solve issues related to the problems faced by engineers in the implementation of science, and creativity in the field of food innovation. The world will have the most important opportunity to see what awaits the organic food industry in the future, and the impact of globalization, and this place is local production, and environmental problems should be taken into account in the global bioeconomy based on knowledge.

ICEF12 will serve to ensure that future challenges for the bio-food industry are anticipated and discussed and that food engineers are meeting these challenges in order to provide adequate and innovative solutions.

This is a great opportunity for you to hear leading speakers and chat with colleagues from industry and academia to keep up to date with the latest developments in this rapidly developing field.
