The conference will bring together researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers to explore the latest developments in dietary fibre science and its role in health, nutrition, and sustainable food systems. Key thematic areas include fibre analytics, gut health, novel fibre sources, and strategies to address the global fibre gap.
Participants are invited to submit abstracts showcasing innovative research and practical advancements in the field. The deadline for oral abstract submissions has been extended to 26 May 2026, providing additional time for contributors to prepare their work.
