This Symposium serves as a platform for researchers and companies to exchange ideas across borders and share the latest insights on the theme of “Considering Functional Foods from an international perspective.” The main feature of this Symposium is that it is “co-created” with all participants. Based on the research results and product information submitted in advance, we will organize the lecture themes and discussion topics, developing a practical program that helps promote mutual communication. Researchers and companies from around the world will be able to share their own approaches while gaining information on systems in other countries, evaluation methods, and the latest testing methods.

In addition, one of the most attractive features of this Symposium is the opportunity to explore the possibility of new research collaborations and global co-development through the exchange of ideas among participants.

We sincerely look forward to your participation as we promote international co-creation through scientifically grounded research on the functions of foods.
