Every four years, the ILSI Europe International Symposium on Food Packaging gathers a distinguished community of experts to address the latest advancements and challenges in food packaging. This highly anticipated scientific forum, internationally recognised as a leading platform in the field, will take place over four days, featuring a robust program dedicated to science-based solutions for safer and more sustainable packaging.

The 2025 symposium promises to deliver key insights and knowledge transfer across five major themes:

1. Advances in analytical techniques: uncover the latest innovations in detection and measurement, essential for maintaining safety and compliance.
2. Progress in toxicological prediction and assessment: learn about cutting-edge research in toxicology, predictive modelling, and new approaches to enhance consumer protection.
3. Progress in risk assessment: explore advanced methods for assessing risk, ensuring packaging safety across diverse food environments.
4. Food Contact Materials in circular economy: engage in discussions on sustainable solutions and how food contact materials can play a pivotal role in a circular economy.
5. Innovative packaging: discover breakthroughs in packaging designs and materials that support product protection with minimal environmental impact.

This event serves as a unique opportunity for professionals in academia, industry, and regulatory sectors to collaborate, exchange ideas, and stay at the forefront of developments in food packaging science. Attendees can look forward to an array of presentations, workshops, and networking sessions tailored to encourage interactive learning and solution-driven discussions.
