It will provide an excellent opportunity to build networks between delegates from different nations working in similar areas. The conference will consist of formal presentations, discussion groups and plenary sessions, with plenty of opportunity for delegates to share their points of view. The conference will have particular appeal for several professions, dieticians and nutritionists, public and environmental health professionals, food technologists, academics specialising in food and nutrition and those working professionally in the food and beverage supply industry. The conference is jointly organised by the Universiti Malaysia Sabah, the International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST) and the Malaysian Institute of Food Technology (MIFT). Abstracts for consideration by the organising committee should be submitted by 30th November 2011, with final paper submissions by 15th February 2012.
