Following previous meetings in Sydney, Delft, Paris, Lund, and Sydney, Neutrons and Food 6 was scheduled to be held in Japan in May 2021, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In view of the current situation of the pandemic, the organizing committee has decided to hold "Neutrons and Food 6" as an online meeting. The date and time of the meeting are as follows.

Date: May 16 (Mon)-18 (Wed), 2022
Time: 18:00-22:30 JST (UTC+9)
Registration fee: Free

Important dates

Registration Open: Jan. 24, 2022
Deadline of Presentation Applications: March 15, 2022
Notification of Acceptance: April 4, 2022 April 11, 2022
Deadline of Abstracts: April 30, 2022
Registration Close: May 15, 2022

Presentation

All presentations will be given as oral presentations (Keynote, Invited and Contributed talks). The presentations will be selected by the Program Committee based on keywords and short abstracts, taking into consideration the balance of topics and diversity of speakers. We will request each presenter to submit a full abstract after the notification of acceptance for audiences Econvenience.

Scope

We welcome submissions from a wide range of fields, including food science fields such as food hydrocolloids, food chemistry, food structure, and food function; product development fields such as processing, rheology, and tribology; and quantum beam applications including scattering. We would like to emphasize that the conference will provide a platform for the synergistic exchange of ideas between researchers in food science and those who are mainly working with neutron and quantum-beam sciences, by bringing together talks from various fields.
