IFST members networking

Community

IFST Networks

Specialised groups to make it easier for our members to network based on shared interests, proximity or career stage.

Introduction

One community, many groups

Although we are one food science and technology community, we have specialised groups to make it easier for our members to network based on shared interests, proximity or career stage etc. Our Special Interest Groups (SIGs), Branches and Working Groups each comprise of a committee of volunteer members, who meet both face-to-face and virtually and are actively involved in organising activities, events etc. The groups are supported by the central IFST executive team and provide excellent networking opportunities and support to group members. We will advertise vacant committee positions, as they become available.
