We are just a few weeks away from the eagerly anticipated international symposium “Advances in Contamination Control and Food Quality”, co-organized by FoodSafeR, PHOTONFOOD, and DigiFoods. The event will take place on November 27–28, 2024, at BOKU University, IFA-Tulln, located just outside Vienna, Austria.
This symposium is set to bring together a diverse community of stakeholders from across Europe and beyond—including researchers, innovators, policymakers, food industry professionals, and technology developers—all united by a common goal: to advance the safety and quality of our food systems through cutting-edge science and collaboration.
A Unique Opportunity to Explore Innovation in Food Safety
Throughout the two-day event, participants will explore the latest scientific and technological breakthroughs in:
-
Photonic sensors for real-time detection of contaminants
-
Smart monitoring systems integrated into food processing environments
-
Digital tools and AI that support risk prediction, data analysis, and decision-making
-
Novel approaches to ensuring food quality and traceability in complex supply chains
The program includes keynote presentations from internationally recognized experts, a series of dynamic flash talks showcasing ongoing research from EU-funded projects, and panel discussions designed to promote interdisciplinary exchange. Attendees will also have the chance to network during informal sessions, visit technology demonstrations, and discover how Horizon Europe initiatives are driving impact in the food safety landscape.
Why Attend?
With increasing pressure on food systems—from climate change and global trade to new dietary trends—the ability to detect and respond to contamination risks quickly and effectively has never been more important. This symposium provides a platform to share knowledge, shape future strategies, and explore how innovation can support more resilient and transparent food chains.
Whether you’re a researcher, policymaker, food business operator, or tech innovator, this event offers a space to connect, collaborate, and create solutions for a safer, smarter food future.
