The ICCAS

The International Conference on Culinary Arts and Sciences (ICCAS) was founded in 1993 by the Worshipful Company of Cooks of London as a forum for culinary artists and scientists from academia and industry to present their work and share ideas. ICCAS is the only international conference that brings together the two sides of the international food industry, food science and food service.

Eleven ICCAS conferences have been held around the world in countries which include England, Egypt, Norway, Portugal and the USA.

The 12^th conference will be the first time that ICCAS will be held in France, in Lyon, also known as the capital of the French gastronomy.

The Institut Paul Bocuse, a leading higher education school in Culinary Arts, Food service and Hospitality, will host the conference.

The venue will uniquely bring together food scholars from all over the world with local, national and international culinarians, food scientists, food enthusiasts, members of the food trade.
 

Theme of the 12^th ICCAS conference

The way we eat and the food we produce, process and distribute are intrinsically linked to the health and well-being of individuals as well as to the protection of the planet. The 12^th ICCAS conference focuses on the active role of the culinary arts and food sciences in the creation and dissemination of healthy and tasty foods that meet the economic, societal and environmental challenges of sustainable meal systems for all citizens.

Sustainability is understood as the capacity to be beneficial in a long term regarding the environmental, health, social and cultural dimensions. Meal systems are understood as all the factors surrounding the production, the distribution and the consumption of meals, namely the food items to be used (source, quality, plant vs. animal etc.), the preparation of meals, their context (places, occasions, at home, in restaurants, …) their distribution (service, delivery – especially developed in the COVID-19 pandemic context, …) and the social relations around the meal (commensality). It operates within- and is influenced by- social, cultural, political, economic and environmental contexts.

In addition to developing the central thrust of the conference, themes will focus on:

• Food Culture: Role of culture in the way we are eating and its evolutions. Topics include: gastronomic heritage, acculturation, ethnic restaurants, terroir and geographical indications, food tourism, transmission, culture and identity.
• Foodservice and Hospitality: The provision of sustainable foods and services in commercial and institutional settings. Topics include: Culinary production and innovation, menus, food variety, food provenance, public meals in education, health and workplace.
• Food Systems and Politics: The distribution systems that encompass agricultural commodities as they travel and transform from farm to table. Topics include: Agricultural, urban and food distribution systems, social justice, just transition, food geography, food economics, governance issues.
• The resilience of the food and food service sector in a crisis context: the impacts of covid19 on the food and hospitality sector. Topics include: adaptation to sanitary measures, managing social distance, alternatives to on-site consumption and food delivery, economic and managerial impacts of confinement and deconfinement.
• Food Marketing, Food Habits and Consumer Behavior: Understanding market influences. Topics include: The marketing of food products and foodservice, nudging, eating and drinking habits and behaviors.
• Food Science and Safety: Making food safe and plentiful. Topics include: food science, food technology, food fortification, food safety, sensory evaluation and analysis, and biotechnology.
