Due to the current situation with COVID19, the Organisers of ICBC2020 have decided to postpone ICBC2020 based on general recommendations for public health and in favour of wellbeing of all our participants.

The new date for the conference is the 6^th-8^th of January 2021. The venue remains the same – Rydges Hotel, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Already confirmed registrations and packages will of course be applicable to the new date.

We regret having to take this measure but count on your understanding and look forward to welcoming you in Christchurch in January 2021!

FINAL VIRTUAL CONFERENCE ON SUSTAINABLE CEREALS
6 MARCH - 12.30 - 16:00 CET

Register for free at https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/4311266860038528013! This conference will be interesting for university students of all levels and academic faculty in any food-related programme, cereal industry representatives, and anyone interested in sustainable food production. See the programme attached with the fresh ideas and topics of the student teams!

Free and open to the public!!

The FOODFACTORY-4-US SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COMPETITION - organised by the ISEKI-Food Association in collaboration with ICC -  as part of the NextFOOD project - has been running since November 2019 with student teams from universities worldwide competing in a game based on participatory education and action learning to find the best solutions to how ancient/alternative grains can contribute to improved sustainability in the cereal chain.

To learn more about the student competition, visit us at https://food-sta.eu/foodfactory-4-us

We are happy to present a versatile and multidisciplinary programme featuring plenary sessions embracing the challenges and opportunities facing the cereal science community. Poster displays and competitions as well as a networking dinner for all our contributors to develop long lasting collaborations throughout the world will complement ICBC2020. 

A selection of the talks are:

• "Our daily bread: an exciting and socially relevant research object"
• "Delivering health benefits with bakery products"
• "Flexibility andd transparency, the new challenges for wholesale bakeries"
• "Why do so many consumers purchase ´gluten-free` products?"
• "The balance between oven rise and structure setting in pound cake making"
• "Whole grain food definitions - are we reaching a consensus?
• "Bread dough rheology - measuring it to control the end product quality"
• "Transgenic wheat with elevated endosperm triglyceride lipid - effencts on grain composition and baking"
• "Noodle quality - a molecular approach"

Regular online registration is still open - Take the chance to interact and strengthen you network - sign up today!
