IFST Young Scientist Competition is an annual competition offering undergraduate and postgraduate students based in the UK the opportunity to present their current or recently completed food-related project (e.g. food science, food technology, human nutrition as well as other areas that help understand food) in front of their peers and to a panel of food professionals. In addition to the regional rounds in Scotland, Northern Ireland, North of England and South of England, this year we hosted a national final to crown the IFST Young Scientists of the Year in the undergraduate and postgraduate categories.
Entries for IFST Young Scientist Competition 2020 will open in early 2020.
