This event is jointly organised by Dublin Institute of Technology, University College Dublin and Teagasc Ashtown Food Research Centre. The aim of ICPMF7 will be to continue the successful Predictive Modelling conference series organised in 1992 Tampa (Florida), 1996 Hobart (Tasmania), 2000 Leuven (Belgium), 2003 Quimper (France), 2007 Athens (Greece) and 2009 Washington DC (US).
This conference will bring together leading academics, research scientists and food professionals who are currently developing and using simulation and optimisation tools to enhance the quality and safety of food. This event also aims at attracting various stakeholders throughout the food chain, including policy makers and international authorities. It will highlight the diversities, commonalities and future challenges that we face as predictive modellers in food.
All of the topics regarding predictive modelling will be showcased at the Conference, including, but not limited to: predictive microbiology, individual based modelling, stochastic modelling and systems biology. The conference will include plenary sessions by high profile international speakers, opportunities to present original research and a comprehensive social program. Overall, this conference will promote interaction between international experts in food and (micro) biological sciences, engineering, computer science and mathematics.
A separate optional workshop will also be held on the 16th September 2011, following the conference, focusing on predictive modelling applications and the use of powerful software tools.
