Aim

We invite you to participate in the 10th biennial FOODSIM2018, which will be held from April 8-12, 2018, in Ghent, Belgium at the University of Leuven Research Centre.

FOODSIM'2018 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 "Simulation applied to food processes, quality, safety, and sustainability", with this year as a specific track "Methods & tools in Beverages Production and Safety", to complement the presentations of the 13th International Trends in Brewing Symposium with which FOODSIM'2018 will be co-located.

Next to the traditional tracks:

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 Food Process Systems Engineering
Multi-scale Modeling Methods
Multi-objective Optimization Methods
Advanced Software Tools

A new track is introduced this year which will look at "Modeling and Simulation in Precision Agriculture and Robotics"
