27-28 February 2020

We are happy to welcome you to the last stage and event of the European Joint Doctorate in Food Science. This final symposium is an opportunity to get acquainted not only with the PhD and its Early Stage Researchers, but also with the inner workings of such a European Consortium programme.

During these 2 days you’ll have an opportunity to learn about the research conducted by the PhD candidates, but also what kind of challenges, shortcomings, good practices and opportunities such a collective academic endeavour presents.
