Short-course on Fresh-cut Produce, 2 weeks left to register

With about two weeks to go for the 8th European Short-course on "Quality & Safety of Fresh-cut Produce", only 30 slots are still available, and very few of them are at the discounted price for students. A very interesting group is assembling from all over the world (more than 15 Countries already represented) and it is very well assorted with processors, providers, students, and government agencies.

"Every edition of the Course is different in terms of contents and speakers but we always commit ourselves to a very interesting programme and to a very high standard of lectures", says Prof. Giancarlo Colelli (see photo) of the University of Foggia, scientific coordinator of the course. "The idea is to have top-interest topics covered by those who, around the world, every day push the limits of innovation a little bit further, both from academia and industry".

This 3-day intensive course, in a format of lectures, discussions and reports on research advances regarding fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, will take place within the exhibition premises at Fiera di Rimini, on September 14-16, during the next Macfrut exhibition. The program is designed to give participants an opportunity to attend the course in the morning and visit the exhibition premises of Macfrut in the afternoon.
