Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT) will be hosting its 2nd international symposium on Biotechnology and Food Engineering from June 13th to June 16th, 2024 in Shantou.

The symposium aims to bring together renowned national and international researchers and professors to present their latest research findings to an audience consisting of graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and academicians from GTIIT and other Chinese universities.

The event will serve as a platform to discuss the latest research trends and innovations in Food, Biotechnology, and Environmental Engineering. The symposium will cover a wide range of topics, including Microbiomes Research, Fermentation Science, Nanotechnology, Encapsulation, Nutraceuticals, Food Safety, Sustainable Process Engineering, Waste Transformation, and Reuse.

The organizers hope that the symposium will help raise awareness of the emerging issues in these fields and improve the visibility of GTIIT. The conference will invite top international and national esteemed scientists to share their knowledge, allowing for scholarly exchange and the consolidation of solid networks.

The proposed event is expected to promote high-level research and capacity building for the development of strategic collaborations nationally and internationally. The conference will host 39 speakers (not including graduate student oral and poster presentations), counting 8 internationally renowned scientists from Australia, Canada, Greece, Israel and Singapore.

A large group of outstanding experts from foreign and Chinese universities have already accepted our invitation to attend. Interaction, exchange of ideas, and future collaborations facilitated by this meeting will lead to substantial long-term benefits. Influential scientists will also see the strengths of Shantou in terms of academic research and potential industrial cooperation.

Join us and get updated on the latest trends and innovations in the Biotech and Food industries, including topics such as 3D Food Printing, Microbiome Research, Fermentation Science, Synthetic Biology, Food Nanotechnology, Encapsulation, Nutraceuticals, Food Safety, Sustainable Process Engineering, and Waste Transformation and Reuse.

GTIIT Biotechnology and Food Engineering Program

Guangdong Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT, est. 2016) strives to become a world-class research-intensive science and engineering-based university. Biotechnology and Food Engineering (BFE) at GTIIT is one of the four key disciplines under the Guangdong High-level University Construction plan. The young GTIIT-BFE Program aims for the same teaching and research excellence of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology BFE faculty (in Haifa, Israel), the only one of its kind in Israel, which has provided highly skilled engineers and scientists to the expanding biotechnology and food industries since 1953.

Our vision is to serve as a national high level and internationally recognized Chinese center for BFE teaching and research for the benefit of China and the advancement of science and human well-being. The GTIIT-BFE Program offers a unique integration of food engineering-technology with biotechnology and life sciences, and develops technological understanding with hands-on-experience for undergraduates. Our program interdisciplinary, unique, innovative, and effective in serving the local biotechnology and food industries.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to GTIIT !
