In light of the global pandemic COVID-19, and the changes to our way of life, Young EFFoST Day focused on strengthening our ability to communicate impactfully, whether remotely or in person. The first part of the day was hosted by Virtuozo, a firm specializing in coaching presenters for the world-renowned TED conferences. In the second part of the afternoon, the Young EFFoST Day attendees were divided into interactive groups on a range of fascinating topics, from how to take the first steps in creating a startup to setting up think panels on topics which are at the heart of our work as food scientists.
