Dear colleagues,
We would like to inform you that we are finalizing the agreement so that
all abstracts accepted for oral presentation are published in a special
issue of the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis. The Keynotes and
posters awarded will be included also.
We also want to reiterate the information about the post Conference
courses offered and invite all of you to enroll in them. (More information

*3) **Food consumption and food composition data harmonization with FoodEx2*
*Date*: October 14, 2017 as post 12th IFDC activity
*Venue*: Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, University of Buenos Aires
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, with the
technical collaboration of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), is
organizing a hands-on training on individual food consumption and
composition data harmonization with the FoodEx2 system. FoodEx2 allows to
describe and categorize foods in a systematic way, therefore facilitating
harmonization between datasets, in particular between food consumption data
and food composition data.This one-day training is dedicated to data
managers who are interested in sharing their consumption data through the
FAO/WHO GIFT platform or harmonizing their food composition data to
facilitate matching with other datasets. It will cover an introduction to
FoodEx2, the main uses and basic principles for its use, followed by a
necessarily short set of introductory exercises (e.g. on food composition-
or food consumption-related food items).
*Attendance at the training will be by invitation only*. No more than
30trainees.
Please contact Pauline Allemand* (**[log in to unmask]*
