As per the press communiqué this European seafood conference will be held at Måltidets Hus in Stavanger on 9 and 10 March 2010. Many distinguish speakers include key European figures and naturally the organisers, Nofima and Campden, will be represented. Nofima Mat has had a strategic collaboration with Campden BRI in England for some time. This has led to joint project work and a common focus on international meetings and conferences.
It is said that in March, Nofima and Campden will organise the second European Fish and Seafood Conference in Stavanger. The Norwegian member of the programme committee, Torstein Skåra, a Research Scientist at Nofima Mat expressed that conserving and processing seafood products is a clear focus area for us and it is therefore very important for us to be able to participate actively in international research in this field.
It is told that the first joint conference was held in London in 2007. This year’s programme is designed to be relevant for the seafood industry all over Europe. Skara also said that any one session will be more interesting than another, but it would highlight the session on seafood processing. The conference is said to throw light on areas like new freezing techniques, aseptic techniques for seafood processing, super-chilling and MA packaging of seafood.
