WCOF 2020 - 2020 World Congress on Oils and Fats

Australia last hosted the World Congress on Fats and Oils in Sydney in conjunction with the ISF Lectureship Series in 2009.
The Congress attracts a large number of participants from all parts of the world,
connecting research scientists and industry involved in edible oils and their by-products
providing a platform for young and developing researchers by facilitating the presentation and discussion of papers, networking and recognition;
and disseminating the latest research on fats and oils and related products.
A wide range of topics will be addressed including oil production, processing & nutrition, olive oil and marine oils as well as presentations on related products including animal nutrition and surfactants. It is expected that over 500 delegates will attend ensuring a diverse range of interests.
The ISF Lectureship Series is a biennial event held in conjunction with a major global oils and fats research meeting. This is only the second time Australia has been invited to host these lectures, and as always will include a plenary lecture by the winner of the 2020 Kauffman Award, to be announced closer to the date.
The 2020 Congress will be held at the brand new International Convention Centre in Sydney and promises to be an outstanding event with some outstanding speakers and a high-quality social and accompanying person’s program to match.
