Директор Научног института за прехрамбене технологије у Новом Саду, др Милош Пелић, учествовао је на састанку представника Покрајинске владе и делегације Провинције Бенго из Анголе, одржаном у Покрајинској влади АП Војводине.

Током састанка разговарано је о могућностима будуће сарадње у области међународних пројеката, размене знања и искустава, као и потенцијалном повезивању институција у областима безбедности хране, прехрамбених технологија, едукације кадрова и одрживих агро-прехрамбених система.

Посебан акценат стављен је на значај јачања међународне научне сарадње и повезивања институција кроз заједничке иницијативе и програме Европске уније.

Open collaboration in action! 🌱🔬

Within the Impress Horizon Europe Project, an open collaboration was established with the Horizon Europe EINSTEIN project during the Future Food and Health event, held at the Science and Technology Park Novi Sad.
As part of this open collaboration, the IMPRESS project contributed two educational sessions for PhD students from the University of Novi Sad and Wageningen University:

🌿 Low-trophic species as alternative resources for health-promoting food ingredients
🤝 Participative approaches in new product development using low-trophic species

It was a great opportunity to exchange ideas on sustainable food ingredients, innovation and co-creation - and to show how projects can create value when they connect. 💚

We proudly present Donau Lab d.o.o. - one of the sponsors of the FoodTech 2026 Congress.
Thank you for supporting innovation in food technology and safety!

🔬 Istraživači sa Naučni institut za prehrambene tehnologije u Novom Sadu učestvovali su na događaju „LAB2MARKET – Partnerstvo nauke i privrede“, u organizaciji Фонд за науку Републике Србије - Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, koji je bio posvećen predstavljanju naučnoistraživačkih projekata koji su uspešno napravili iskorak iz laboratorije ka tržištu.

Na događaju su predstavljeni i projekti DANUBEcare i PROTOPOWER koji povezuju naučnu zajednicu, privredni sektor i inovacioni ekosistem u cilju razvoja održivih i konkurentnih rešenja zasnovanih na nauci.

We are excited to announce another outstanding plenary speaker at FoodTech 2026: Laura Gasco University of Turin.
If “Reshaping the Future of Food” means building more sustainable and circular food systems, then alternative proteins and insect-based feed ingredients are becoming impossible to ignore.
Prof. Gasco is one of the leading international experts in insect production and nutrition, with research spanning aquaculture, poultry, pigs, and rabbits, while connecting sustainability, feed technology, and circular bioeconomy concepts.
As President of the EAAP Study Commission on Insects and a key contributor to numerous Horizon Europe, PRIMA, and EIT Food projects, she plays an active role in shaping the future of sustainable animal nutrition at the European level.
Stay tuned for more plenary speakers in food science emerging topics!
