LINXS event - Northern Lights on Food - Conference IV


Why bother about the structure of food?

Unlocking the future food for health, well-being and sustainability

Do you want to learn more about the structure of food and how this knowledge can lead to new green and sustainable processes and could be used to create the foods for the future? Welcome to our annual Northern Lights on Food conference in Lund in June!

DAY 1: Unlocking the secrets of food 

We welcome everyone interested in why food structure and research is important to create the foods of the future.

This half-day is free and open to the public - you will hear from food researchers, experts from food industry and scientists from MAX IV and ESS! 

Location: Stadshallen, Lund
