The event will take place on 6 May, 12pm- 6pm (Dublin) and 7 May, 7.30am - 2pm (Dublin) covering 6 themes on food digestion

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the physical International Conference on Food Digestion in Cork was postponed to May 2022 (https://www.icfd2022.com/).

This May 2021 virtual event is being held in order to mark the occasion and to give researchers, especially PhD students, an opportunity to present their results on an international stage.

The conference will cover six themes relating to food digestion:

1. In vitro digestion models
2. Food interaction and meal digestion
3. Absorption models
4. Lipid digestion
5. Starch digestion
6. In silico models

The 7^th session will be a live session from Australia and New Zealand on the morning of Day 2.  A special session of flash presentations, hosted by post-doctoral researchers from Teagasc, will be held on the 6^th May, from 6pm-8pm (Dublin).
