Why This Conference Matters
Food moves across borders, but regulations and safety standards still differ between countries, which can create barriers to trade and inconsistent protection for consumers. A congress centred on global harmonisation brings food scientists, regulators and policy researchers together to compare approaches and evidence. For researchers, presenting at the congress offers a route to share findings with people who shape standards, gain feedback from colleagues in other regions and contribute to discussions on how science can support consistent food safety and security.

Institutions and sectors

What Reviewers Typically Value
- Evidence that informs regulatory decisions or the harmonisation of standards.
- Comparative analyses of food safety regulations across countries or regions.
- Robust methods for detecting hazards, fraud or contamination in food.
