According to the decision of the members of the EFCE Section on Food, an European Workshop on Food Engineering and Technology will be organised every year with the best PhD students of Europe presenting their recent results.
The First European Workshop on Food Engineering and Technology in Berlin, 21 – 22 May 2007, was very successful. 15 young scientists of 10 countries, who will finish their PhD in food engineering and technology soon or have recently received a PhD, have presented their papers. All candidates were selected by their national expert committee or organisation responsible for food engineering and technology. The scientific quality of the workshop was excellent. At the end of the conference

Dr. Thomas KARBOWIAK, Saint-Apollinaire/France
