International Academy

The International Academy of Food Science and Technology is a group of elected distinguished food scientists and technologists who collectively form a pool of scientific expertise in food science and technology from which IUFoST may draw non-aligned expert advice on scientific matters. Elected Fellows represent no organisation but serve as independent persons. Nominations for each new roster are made by IUFoST Adhering Bodies and existing IAFoST Fellows. IAFoST operates in accordance with its Statutes.

The International Academy of Food Science and Technology (IAFoST) does more than simply afford recognition of its Fellows. It takes its own initiatives, with appropriate co-ordination, to promote food science and technology, stimulate education and training, and improve international cooperation. Among its activities, the International Academy nominates candidates for the IUFoST Scientific Council for General Assembly approval and sends proposals for members of working groups to the Scientific Council. Its responsibilities also include providing scientific advice to the President or Scientific Council and allocating jury panels for awards.
