The Nonthermal Processing Division of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT-NPD) and the European Federation of Food Science and Technology (EFFoST) have been organizing Annual Workshops on Nonthermal Processing Technologies to Process Foods over the last two decades. Earlier workshops alternated between the USA and European sites and lately, because of the growing worldwide interest in nonthermal processing technologies, several countries outside the US and Europe have been organizing and hosting these workshops.

We are looking for universities and research institutions to host the 2021 edition of the EFFoST / IFT-NPD Workshop on Non-thermal Processing of Foods. Any group interested in organizing and hosting an EFFoST / IFT-NPD Workshop is required to submit a written proposal to the IFT-NPD / EFFoST Joint Workshop Committee in accordance with the instructions given in these Guidelines.
