<p><font color="#000000"><span lang="en-US">Dear colleagues,</span></font> </p>
<p>we would like to remind you that the early bird registration and abstract submission for the <font color="#000000"><span lang="en-US"> “</span></font><font color="#000000"><span lang="en-US"><b>Neutrons and Food 8</b></span></font><font color="#000000"><span lang="en-US">”
is open. Information regarding program, timeline, registration and abstract submission are on the conference website </span></font><font color="#0000ff"><u><a><span lang="en-US"></span></a><a href="http://go.fzj.de/neutronsandfood8">go.fzj.de/neutronsandfood8</a></u></font><font color="#000000"><span lang="en-US">. </span></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">The "Neutrons and Food 8" 2026 will be held in Garching, Germany on June 15th to 19th, 2026 and it will bring together experts in food science and technology and neutron scattering to discuss present status, ongoing developments as
well as future perspectives in the field. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">The world-wide interest to tackle vibrant research questions about food materials and processing with the help of scattering methods is growing. Sustainability in food technology requires knowledge based research and development, and
the scattering community is a vibrating and active part, showing with its techniques that gaining molecular insight into complex structures is exciting and important for further developments. In this conference the colorful diversity of research with neutrons
and food will be highlighted. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">The conference consists of two parts: a training school and the exchange of the most recent research results presented from contributed and invited talks as well as posters. The first day is devoted to the training school with introductory
lectures on scattering techniques as well as food systems. The other days cover talks and posters on current research related to neutron and X-ray techniques and food. Furthermore,visits of state-of-the-art reseach facilities specialized in food science and
technology and scattering are organized.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">We warmly welcome contributions on the following topics related to food using scattering techniques:</font></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><font color="#000000">food components like proteins, cabohydrates, fats</font></p>
</li><li>
<p><font color="#000000">food colloids like emulsions, foams and gel systems</font></p>
</li><li>
<p><font color="#000000">food processing investigated via scattering techniques</font></p>
</li><li>
<p><font color="#000000">food and neutron imaging</font></p>
</li><li>
<p><font color="#000000">simulation of food materials or processes</font></p>
</li><li>
<p><font color="#000000">scattering techniques applied in food systems</font></p>
</li><li>
<p><font color="#000000">industrial applications of scattering</font></p>
</li></ul>
<p><font color="#000000">Talks and posters will be presented by renowned international researchers in the field to demonstrate state-of-the-art methods and applications. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"> </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">The conference is organized by the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ), a collaboration between Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS), Forschungszentrum Jülich, Technische Universität München and Helmhotz Zentrum Hereon.</font></p>
