Programme informationThe congress runs for five days and presents a wide spectrum of recent progress within the field of Meat Science and Technology - Meat - Muscle, Manufacturing and Meals.
The programme includes invited keynote speakers, invited speakers for the Parallel Sessions, short oral presentations chosen from the submitted short papers and finally a number of posters presented at the Poster Sessions.
Research within the field of meat science and technology is multidisciplinary and demands the involvement of several disciplines. Presentations on day one of the congress explore topics within the field of “The Value Chain within Meat Production” and “Muscle Biology & Biochemistry”. The programme on day two addresses topics within the field of “Manufacturing Technology” and “Food Safety”. Day three presents presentations dealing with “Eating Quality – from Gene to Gastronomy” and “Health & Meat Intake”. Day four is allocated for Technical tours and at day five, the last day of the congress, the participants of the congress are invited to attend the EU seminars arranged by the European Integrated Projects related to the area.
A PhD pre-course is arranged in order to encourage young researchers (students) to attend.
The Plenary Sessions comprises keynote lectures given by internationally respected scientists who have been invited to present current and future research. Topics to be addressed include Sustainable Meat Production in a Global Perspective, Tenderness - an Enigmatic View, Integration of Technology in the Food Industry, Hot Issues Linked to Legislative Aspects, Production Systems and Influence on Eating Quality and Biomarkers of Meat Intake/Nutrigenomics.
A workshop on classification of pig carcasses at the Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen, will be open for ICOMST-participants.
Pfizer Animal Health invites congress participants to a symposium on vaccine alternatives to physical castration of pigs.
Keynote speakers and invited speakers in opening and plenary sessions:
Invited speakers in parallel sessions:
The Parallel Sessions related to the Plenary Sessions comprise in-depth lectures by international experts within current topics of meat science and technology. Each session comprises three lectures given by invited scientists of high international status and four short lectures based on selected submitted short papers received before 15 May 2009.
Manuscripts from keynote speakers will be published in a special issue of Meat Science. Short papers received from the invited speakers will be gathered in the proceedings of the congress together with the submitted short papers selected after review by the scientific committee.
Overall themes of parallel sessions:
The congress also aims at the industry, which is reflected in the titles of the Plenary Sessions e.g. The Value Chain within Meat Production, Manufacturing Technology, Eating Quality – from Gene to Gastronomy and Health & Meat Intake.
Complementing the Plenary and Parallel Sessions, the Poster Sessions will give a larger number of scientists the opportunity to present their data, giving the congress delegates further opportunity to learn about and explore the many aspects of meat science and technology.
For further information about the Poster Sessions, please visit the menu item Poster presentation.
Day three, Wednesday 19, of the congress ends with a congress dinner, which will take place in the ceremonial hall at Frederiksberg Town Hall.
Traditionally the IMS Prize is awarded for a presentation, lecture or poster, concerned with red meat. Emphasis will be put on the contribution that has the most impact on either knowledge or application for the industry, or the furtherance of meat science and technology.
