Symposia Submissions Accepted Now through November 19, 2015
SUBMISSIONS NOW CLOSED
Will your symposium content be innovative and provide cutting edge advances in cereal grain science?
This question should be top-of-mind as you gather speakers and define key topics and take-aways for your symposium proposal. AACCI is looking for sessions that are:
- inspired, offering creative vision that poses the question, “What if…?”
- forward-thinking, yet built upon solid science
- positioned to tackle important issues
- provocative, fostering further discussion of solutions and roadblocks
- comprehensive and interdisciplinary, including research and applied methods
The 2016 Meeting Technical Program Planning Committee will be looking for proposals that address:
- New Advances in Cereal Grain Science
- Feeding the World with Cereal Grains – Leveraging Scientific Advancements
- Benefits of Cereal Grains – Farm to Table Scientific Advancements
- Health issues related to cereal food intake, with a strong focus on dietary fiber, whole grain and bioactive components Flour and grain quality testing
- Educating the public on grains as part of a healthy diet and GM related issues
- Ingredient replacement strategies and the potential of enzymes
These topics are merely suggestions; this list should not be considered complete.
Approaches and inclusion for a successful submission:
- Clarity of objectives and scope of content for the session; what will the session accomplish?
- Innovation, what’s new?
- Including new speakers to your sessions
- Global approach
- Completeness of submission
