The EYES for your future career in Food Science and Technology
Our Objective
EYES stands for EFFoST, Young Scientists, Events & Social network.
Young EFFoST is created for and by postgraduate students, early-career food scientists, and food professionals. All food-related disciplines are welcome, from the hard sciences studying food structure, to the social and human sciences focusing on consumer behaviour, and the medical sciences exploring how food affects the human body.
The future challenges of the food sector call for constructive dialogue and collaboration among the next generation of food professionals. Young EFFoST organises events to encourage innovative solutions that respond to key societal needs such as sustainability and animal welfare.
Goals
Young EFFoST aims to:
-
improve networking,
-
develop personal and professional skills, and
-
help young scientists expand their knowledge of food science.
Through Young EFFoST, members can learn from and connect with experienced food scientists from research institutions and the food industry worldwide.
GovernanceYoung EFFoST is governed by the Young EFFoST Council, which includes eight early-career food scientists and professionals from across Europe. The chair and co-chair of the Council are also active members of the EFFoST Standing Committee on Career Development and Education.
