Dear all,

The INTERNATIONAL MEASUREMENT CONFEDERATION TC23 “ Metrology in Food and Nutrition” is organizing the 1st IMEKO FOODS conference in Rome, Italy, 12 - 15 October 2014. The main organizer is ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development). INSA and FAO are editors.

 

This conferences aims to bring metrology and food composition closer together so that one can profit more from each other.

 

Besides topics closely linked to Metrology (metrological traceability, measurement uncertainty, reference materials, method development and validation), IMEKOFOODS will deal with the different measurement needs for Food Quality & Safety, focusing on the emerging fields of Metrology for Food and Nutrition (authenticity and traceability of raw materials and products, sensory analysis and organoleptic properties, nanotechnologies and nanoparticles, chemometrics). Furthermore main constrains and opportunities related to the implementation of metrology in food composition databases and exposure predictive model development will be deepened.

 

Please consult the conference website http://imekofoods.enea.it for more information. The abstract submission is open until 31 May 2014.

 

Hope to see many of you there

Best wishes

Ruth
