Committees
A word from the co-presidents
As part of INAF’s 25th anniversary, the 7th edition of BÉNÉFIQ will highlight success stories illustrating the power of partnerships between academia and the users of research results. These collaborations bear witness to the concrete spin-offs of research and its impact in the field.
Sustainable food issues require a cross-sectoral approach. Participants will be invited to explore the scope of intersectorality in order to identify possible solutions. Whether it’s the quality of the food supply, the personalization of nutrition or even consumer behavior, it’s essential to look at all angles to meet the challenges posed by climate change, unstable markets and fragile supply chains.
BÉNÉFIQ aims to provide a forum for learning, networking and dialogue on a wide range of topics. It will bring together leading-edge scientists, a dynamic up-and-coming generation, innovative industrial partners and all players in the biofood and nutrition ecosystem. A unique opportunity for inspiration, exchange and innovation.
BÉNÉFIQ: the same mission, the same friendly atmosphere, but with a new venue, a renewed image and a broader scope. Don’t miss this major international event!
