The Early Career Scientists (ECS) Section was formed to promote high standards of ethics and scientific endeavour among food scientists and technologists and to formalize a relationship for the young scientists selected to speak at the IUFoST World Food Congresses, chosen for exemplifying the best in young science from among nominations by IUFoST Adhering Bodies and members worldwide. This original group has expanded, created its own structure and, amongst other activities, will be Ambassadors for IUFoST and IAFoST. Their roles:
- Ensure active involvement of ECS in all IUFoST scientific working groups
