Is your work a fit? Check before you submit

  1. Confirm that the work addresses food safety, security, regulation or governance.
  2. State how the findings relate to regulation, standards or policy where relevant.
  3. Report methods, data and conclusions clearly within the abstract requirements.
  4. Check abstract format, presentation options and registration rules on the official congress site.
  5. Submit a complete, co-author-approved abstract before 31 December 2026.

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.

Who Should Submit

Academic backgrounds

  • Food science and technology
  • Food microbiology
  • Food law and regulatory science
  • Toxicology and risk assessment
  • Agricultural and food policy

Institutions and sectors

  • Universities and food science departments
  • Food safety and regulatory authorities
  • Food industry and testing laboratories

What Reviewers Typically Value

  1. Evidence that informs regulatory decisions or the harmonisation of standards.
  2. Comparative analyses of food safety regulations across countries or regions.
  3. Robust methods for detecting hazards, fraud or contamination in food.
  4. Work that connects food safety with food security and public health outcomes.

Ideas You Could Develop

Comparing mycotoxin limits across regionsA comparative analysis of mycotoxin regulatory limits in several countries and their implications for trade and consumer protection.
Rapid detection of food adulterationA study evaluating a rapid analytical method for detecting adulteration in a commonly traded food product.
Food safety governance in small producersA qualitative study of how small food producers interpret and apply national food safety regulations.

What the Organisers Are Looking For

Consistent with its scope, the 3rd GHI World Congress 2027 invites abstracts on food safety, security, regulation and governance. Abstracts that link scientific evidence to regulatory practice, compare approaches across countries or address hazards in the food chain are likely to be of interest. Abstract format, presentation options and other submission rules should be confirmed on the official GHI World Congress website.
