This series of Symposia have managed to gather, throughout the years, an interdisciplinary team of scientists from different research areas (food science and engineering, biophysics, applied soft matter, food technology, applied human nutrition) and very different proveniences (from academia, industry and young researchers) and places around the world.

The 8^th symposium of the series, DOF2019, has a rich programme that addresses the most recent developments in the area, featuring three main themes:

1. Food Structures for Delivery of Functionality
2. Safety and efficacy of delivery systems
3. Healthy food design: is multi-functionality the right way forward?
