2022 AIFST Summer School - Virtual Event

This event is now concluded, thank you for your support.

Over the years, the AIFST Summer School has brought students together to engage in opportunities to learn, be inspired and promote individual research projects focusing on the food industry. In 2022, the AIFST Summer school will be held on February 9 & 10 as a virtual event for all students. 

The theme for this year is Food Scientists – inventing the future – collaboration & innovation and aims to teach students about how the many disciplines of food science in the agrifood industry of the future and how to prepare to play a role in the enormous growth opportunities of Australia’s food manufacturing sector. 

Over the course of two days, attendees will:

• Build their professional food industry network among their peers, industry and academia. 
• Be exposed to food industry opportunities through industry guest speakers, who can provide insight and advice on prospective career paths. Speakers may also be able to reflect on their experiences with post-study in both research and industry. 
• Build on current skills through workshops designed to challenge food science and technology knowledge and encourage critical and reflective thinking.
• Gain opportunities to meet and talk with peers, academics and industry personnel with expertise and knowledge in different areas can even build lifelong connections.
