Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to the 2023 International Symposium and Annual Meeting of the Korean Society of Food Science and Nutrition (KFN). The annual meeting will be held at the Busan Exhibition & Convention Center (BEXCO), Busan, Korea on October 18-20, and is themed “Sustainable Food System for a Healthy & Value-Oriented Life.”.
This event will be a great opportunity to bring together food science and nutrition professionals working in academia, government, and industry from throughout the world for knowledge sharing and networking. Since its inception in 1971, KFN has been at the forefront of scientific research in food science & nutrition, with the goal of supporting improvements in human health and nutrition. KFN remains an internationally recognized central hub for academic and industrial advancement in the fields of food science and nutrition.
This year, we have prepared a symposium with interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary sessions for discussing the important issues and topics, practical challenges encountered and the solutions in food and nutrition with global academic and industrial experts. Participants, including the students, will engage in poster competitions, oral presentations, and food product development sessions.
