Korean Society of Food Science and Nutrition

In order to successfully organize SLIM (Shelf Life International Meeting) events, GSICA always looked for fruitful partnerships with local researchers or universities involved in food sciences. Technical experience alongside a strong presence “on site” showed to be of paramount importance for setting up successful meetings. For the aforementioned reasons, also for 2012 SLIM event scheduled in Changwon (South Korea) May 30^th – June 1^st , GSICA has selected an exceptional partner: the Korean Society of Food Science and Nutrition (KFN). It’s been a few years since partnership among GSICA and KFN started, and the excellent relation between GSICA president, Prof. Luciano Piergiovanni, and Prof. Dong Sun Lee it’s guaranteeing a long lasting collaboration. Such a good relation it’s now at the basis of SLIM taking place in South Korea.
