AIM OF FOODSIM'2020

We invite you to participate in the 11th biennial FOODSIM2020, which will be held from April 5-9, 2020, in Ghent, Belgium at the University of Leuven/Campus Ghent.
FOODSIM'2020 will bring together researchers, food experts, and industrial users to present state-of-art research, new research results, and to exchange ideas and experiences in the modeling and simulation tools used for food processing, quality, safety and sustainability. The general conference theme is "Sustainable Food Production in a time of Climate Change"

THEMES

The conference will cover the following themes:

• Modeling and Simulation in Sustainable Food Systems Engineering
• Modeling and Simulation in Quantitative Risk Assessment
• Modeling and Simulation in Food Safety and Spoilage
• Modeling and Simulation in Innovative Food Production and Processing Technologies
• Modeling and Simulation in Food Chains
• Modeling and Simulation in Life Cycle Assessment
• Modeling and Simulation in Climate Change and Environmental Impact
• Modeling and Simulation in Food Business and Economics
• Modeling and Simulation in Precision Agriculture and Robotics
• Modeling and Simulation in Food Process Systems Engineering
• Multi-scale Modeling Methods
• Multi-objective Optimization Methods
• Advanced Software Tools
• COST project meeting (https://www.eurosis.org/conf/foodsim/2020/workshops.htm)

Workshops

The conference organization is open to suggestions on possible workshops featuring software packages, new hardware or methods used in food simulation. We would like to facilitate the discussions about our research and our new projects.

Workshop proposals should be emailed to Philippe.Geril@eurosis.org, by indicating the type of workshop you would like to organize, before OCTOBER 15, 2019.
When preparing a workshop submission, please consider the link to the event and the specific nature of your proposal. A confirmation email will be sent to verify that the proposal was received.

TUTORIALS

Tutorials can be proposed in the following three categories:
T1- Introductory tutorials
T2- State of the Art Tutorials
T3- Software and Modelware Tutorials
Tutorial proposals should be emailed to Philippe.Geril@eurosis.org before NOVEMBER 5TH.

POSTER SESSION

The poster session only features work in progress. Next to the actual poster
presentation, these submissions also feature as short papers in the Proceedings.

STUDENTS SESSION

This session is for students who want to present their work in
progress or part of their doctoral thesis as a paper. Student papers
are denoted by the fact that only the name of the student appears on
the paper as an author. They are published as short papers in the
Proceedings.

DIVERSE ACTIVITIES

For demonstrations or video sessions, please contact EUROSIS.
Special session will be set up for vendor presentations in co-
ordination with the scientific program. User Group meetings for
simulation languages and tools can be organised the day before the
conference. If you would like to arrange a meeting, please contact
the Conference Chairs. We will be happy to provide a meeting room
and other necessary equipment.

COST project meeting
FOODSIM participants are cordially invited to take part in the
COST meeting scheduled during the conference.

EXHIBITION

A special exhibition is envisaged during the conference focused on
industrial applications. For more information please contact EUROSIS for
further details. Email: Philippe.Geril@eurosis.org
