FOOD-FRENZ
Research Developments in
Food Science and Technology
in Europe and New Zealand
Building consumer drivers into successful collaborative research

2. trends contribute to overall
consumer well-being and are
the essential drivers of best
practice and technical
innovation in the food supply
chain. New Zealand has an
export-dominated food
industry with well co-ordinated
production systems. It is
supported by an
internationally respected
research base with strong
Government support and
Overview
Consumer trends in food
consumption are rapidly
changing in Western and Asian
markets. Increasing emphasis
is being placed on food safety,
diet and health and
sustainability (in its broadest
sense, i.e. environmental,
social and economic
considerations). These major
extensive SME engagement.
Thus it constitutes a useful
model and a valuable source of
complementary expertise to
that within the EU.
EU-NZ research linkages are
therefore important in ensuring
the EU food industry is
successful in meeting the
needs of consumers and in
exploiting opportunities offered
through industry globalisation.
FOOD-FRENZ
A conference focusing
on the themes of:
• Food safety
• Personalised foods
• Sustainability, including animal
health and welfare
• Innovative technologies
Contributing to the
implementation of the strategic
research agenda of the
European Technology Platform
on Food for Life

defined. As part of the event
there will be a brokerage
session where delegates will be
able to establish common
interests and develop consortia
to pursue future research in
line with the European
Technology Platform - Food for
Life (ETP FFL) strategic
research agenda. The FP7
programme will be a major
focus for this foresight
opportunity and is expected to
provide a mechanism to build
effective links across the EU
and with NZ.

The two-day conference
explores scientific
developments in four major
themes: food safety,
personalised foods,
sustainability, including animal
health and welfare and
innovative technologies.
Advances in Europe and NZ will
be reviewed and best practice
for the integration of consumer
demands into technological
development considered. The
barriers to cross-sectoral
research collaboration will be
identified and ways of

The conference is open to
delegates from research
organisations, commercial
enterprises and funding agencies
within the EU and NZ. It is a
must for scientists active in the
target themes as well as
industry representatives looking
to develop new products,
processes or identify new market
opportunities. Funding agencies,
or those charged with promoting
research strategies with priorities
in the four themes, should not
miss this chance to engage with
the providers and exploiters of
high quality research.
The conference and proceedings will be in English
Copies of the proceedings will be available
