24 May 2024 – Coordinator of the NEMOS project, María J. Cantalejo Díez will participate in the 22nd World Congress of Food Science and Technology – IUFoST presenting Examples of Food Industries With Zero Waste: Revalorisation of Whey By-products in line with Embedding Sustainability Through Service-Learning. Michael Murkovic, NEMOS local partner from TU Graz, will also attend the congress that will be held in Rimini, Italy, from 8 to 12 of September 2024.
Under the motto The Future of food is now: Development, Functionality & Sustainability, the congress programme will include industry-based workshops, distinguished plenary and keynote
speakers, industry led concurrent sessions, applied research presentations and a plethora of networking opportunities since it is expected to attract more than 2,500 delegates from America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and worldwide. The congress aims to outline the new challenges that the sector will face and for this reason the multi- and interdisciplinary meeting of all the scientific communities, that too often operate isolated from each other, will be welcome.
About the NEMOS Project
The NEMOS project acknowledges sustainability as an increasingly crucial skill for graduate and post-graduate students to tackle important global challenges such as climate change, food waste and the loss of biodiversity in their professional future. Therefore, the project aims to define a new educational model to integrate sustainability competences in the curricula of food-related degrees by means of service learning.
Co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, the NEMOS project is led by the Public University of Navarra and includes the following consortium partners: Technological University Dublin (Ireland); Technological University Graz (Austria); Rhône-Alpes Higher Institute of Agriculture (France); University of Pisa (Italy); and IGCAT.
