International Association For Engineering And Food

The International Association of Engineering and Food (IAEF) is a global body of around 25 delegates representing professional engineering societies including food engineering activities. This organization is mainly in charge of identifying the sites for ICEF events. ICEF, International Congress on Engineering and Food, is the most important congress in the field of food engineering. It is usually held in a four year cycle at different locations. The other main assignment of IAEF is to elect its President who is the organiser of the next ICEF event. The primary object of the Association is the promotion of International Congresses on Engineering and Food (ICEFs) with the basic aims of: Exchange of information, International support of progress in the subject, Advancement of the subject, Advancement of education and training, and the establishment of the principles on ICEFs are organized, in particular when, where, by whom, and how. ICEFs shall normally be held every four years equally spaced between the successive, normally four yearly, World Congresses of Food Science and Technology of IUFOST. An invitation from a member to host an ICEF shall be made by the Secretary who shall convey it to the members at least 3 months before the preceding ICEF. Invitations shall be considered by the Association at a meeting of members’ representatives immediately before each ICEF and its decision on the place of the next ICEF announced during each ICEF. The organization of an ICEF shall be the responsibility primarily of the host organization selected provided that it shall be set up an International Advisory Committee adequately representative of the range of members’ interests and shall regularly consult and inform it on all non-domestic matters concerning the proposed ICEF.
