The 13th edition of the International Congress on Engineering and Food, ICEF13, is presented by the International Association for Engineering and Food (IAEF) with support from Engineers Australia and the Australian Food Engineering Association (AFEA) and the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology (AIFST).

The International Congress on Engineering and Food is a quadrennial event, which has been established as the major event in Food Engineering and related fields over the last 50 years. It is held in a variety of international locations and we are honoured to organise the first ICEF in the Oceania region on 23-26 September 2019.

The congress will highlight opportunities for engineering innovations across the food supply chains to add value and enable the sustainable manufacture of healthier food products for the global markets. Other relevant topics featured in congress the program include food security, novel food processing technologies, food systems engineering and modelling, food properties and packaging, nutrition and health, food education, food engineering innovations in Australasia, and many more.

ICEF13 fills a need to bring together representatives from production sectors, science, technology, business communities and government focusing on how food engineering can deliver innovation and solutions to enhance the food value chain for the benefit of consumers, the environment and economy.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in beautiful Melbourne and Australia in 2019.
