Closing soon: Call for papers for the 16th ISHS Symposium on the Processing Tomato
Be part of 40 years of effective and fruitful cooperation between Science and Industry and submit your abstract for the world’s premier processing tomato symposium
The 16th ISHS Symposium on the Processing Tomato will be held in San Juan City, Argentina, on 15-19 March 2020, in parallel with the 14thWorld Processing Tomato Congress, bringing together academics, researchers and students with growers, processors and business professionals working in the processing tomato industry. This unique setup of an industry congress with a scientific symposium has been a major success story ever since the first world processing tomato congress in Avignon (France) in 1989 and the creation of WPTC in 1998 at Pamplona (Spain).
The following invited speakers are already confirmed:
– Dr. Darren Robinson, Interim Associate Director, University of Guelph, Ridgetown Campus, Canada: Weed management in tomatoes for processing.
– Dr. Jean-François Landrier, Research Director of the Human Nutrition Laboratory at INRAMarseilles, France: Advances in research on the health benefits of tomatoes – towards personalized nutrition?
– Prof Marco Della Rosa, University of Bologna, Italy: Perspectives of technological innovation in tomato processing
The organizing committee, lead by Cosme Argerich (INTA La Consulta, Argentina) and Luca Sandei (SSICA, Italy), is inviting other researchers to submit their proposals for scientific communications during the symposium which will address key scientific questions and issues related to the entire industry, from field (production for industrial purposes, applied ecophysiology, agronomy, biotic and abiotic stress resistance, genetics applied to industrial food system) to fork (organoleptic and nutritional food quality, smart quality control processes, healthy food, high quality cultivars).
The abstracts must be send before 18 October, by following the procedure detailed in the attached document or at www.worldtomatocongress.com.
The full symposium program will be published in January 2020, after all the abstracts have been evaluated.
