 Due to COVID19

the ICBC 2020 will be converted to an

Based on general recommendations for public health and in favour of wellbeing of all our participants, the Organisers of ICBC2020 have decided to convert the ICBC2020 to an ONLINE event . The new date of the online-ICBC will be announced as soon as possible.


Already confirmed registrations, as well as abstracts and packages will of course be applicable to the new format, while we are working on further details.


We regret having to take this measure but count on your understanding and look forward to welcoming you online in 2021 and hopefully soon again in person at another occassion when COVID will not longer influence us as currently!



 ICBC 2021 - 16th ICC Cereal and Bread Congress - online event


Welcome


Dear Friends and Colleagues,


At the heart of the ICC activities lies the International Cereals and Bread Congresses which takes place every four years, and which involves numerous cereal scientists, technologists, millers, bakers, ingredients, and equipment suppliers around the globe.


In 2021 this cosmopolitan mix of ICBC gathers stakeholders with the comfort of your own home to discuss and share knowledge on the challenges and opportunities facing the cereal science and technology community; to benefit from a network carousel with smart matchmaking, to have 1-on-1 meetings with peers and to explore in a dedicated area for exhibitors and sponsors latest equipment and food trends.


Themes for the conference include:

  • Cereal nutrition for health-conscious consumers
  • Food safety and security
  • Sustainable agricultural technology systems
  • Milling and bread making technology
  • Novel processing techniques for extrusion and biscuit making
  • Noodle quality and acceptability
  • Wholegrains, their definition and utilisation in foods
  • Molecular approaches to grain breeding
  • Global supply chain and trade
  • Alternative grain crops
  • Analytical methods for quality determination
  • Consumer perception of grain-based foods

 

Scientists will have the opportunity to show and present their work in a poster display area. The Journal of Cereal Science will be sponsoring 2 ICC Poster Awards for innovative or exceptional work in cereal research. The awardees will be selected from the poster submissions. 


I hope to meet and talk to as many colleagues and collaborators as I can during the online ICBC2021!
