The 12th NIZO Dairy Conference will cover technologies and developments around dairy ingredients.

Dairy ingredients play a crucial role in achieving and maintaining textural and sensorial properties of almost all dairy products and many other foods. Moreover, dairy ingredients have an important contribution to the nutritional and health effects of dairy and other food products.

The focus of the conference will be on the following aspects of dairy ingredient functionality:

Protein and peptide functionality
Ingredient manufacture and properties
Product structure and stability
Nutrition, digestion and health
Fractionation, purification and production of dairy ingredients
Healthy minor components

Abstract submission deadline: 16 April 2021

We are looking forward to seeing you at the 12th NIZO Dairy Conference: Innovations in Dairy Ingredients on 4-7 October 2021.

At present we simply do not know where the world will be regarding the COVID-19 pandemic by the time of the conference. Therefore, we need to be honest and say that we do not currently know if this will be an online conference, a physical conference or both. But we can say with full confidence that this conference will happen on 4-7 October 2021, and that we will find the best way for it to take place.

We have had tremendous success with online conferences to date and we know that this can work well, giving many the opportunity to attend who would not have been able to regularly. We also recognise that many people miss the face-to-face nature of a physical conference. We are striving to find the optimum scenario for the 12th NIZO Dairy Conference in 2021. As time goes by we will be able to better assess what we can do and we will communicate this to you as soon as possible.

You can feel confident when submitting your abstract to the conference that we will provide a high-quality, peer-reviewed programme in which to showcase your research.
