The UCD Institute of Food and Health is happy to host the 2022 EFFoST/IFT-NPD International Nonthermal Processing Workshop and Short Course. The theme of this year’s event is ‘Realising the true potential of nonthermal of processing technologies in future food production’. By bringing together scientists, food manufacturers and equipment manufacturers, the Workshop will create an environment for free flow of information and will help to ensure these technologies reach their true potential in terms of commercial uptake to the benefit of all.
Oral, thesis in 3 and poster abstracts (maximum 350 words) are now invited on the four Workshop themes and should be submitted using the online abstract submission system by July 17, 2022.
The international Scientific Committee will review the submitted abstracts and notify the corresponding author about the acceptance by August 17, 2022.
The abstracts of all accepted contributions will be included within the Workshop Proceedings, which will be available to all registered conference participants.
Oral and posters will be scheduled in 3 plenary sessions per theme while the thesis in 3 will have its own dedicated session. The date and time of presentations will be listed in the Final Program of the Workshop.
The abstract submission process for EFFoST/IFT-NPD Workshop 2022 will be through an online submission portal.

When you are invited to give an oral presentation at the Nonthermal Processing Workshop 2022, please consider the following to allow your session to run smoothly:
Abstracts that have been selected for poster presentation will be displayed on the exhibition floor. The posters will be grouped by conference sub-theme and displayed for one day. In the conference programme there will be specific times allocated to view posters ensuring delegates have sufficient opportunity to meet and discuss with the poster presenters.
When your abstract has been accepted as a poster presentation at the Non-Thermal Processing Workshop 2022, please take note of the following guidelines when producing your poster:
Materials to attach your poster to the poster board will be provided at the conference. Removal and collection of posters at the end of the display period is the responsibility of the presenter. Posters not removed by the indicated take-down time will be removed and disposed of.
