AOAC SEA is holding a Scientific Poster Presentation Session for industries, regulators and academics at our 2nd Annual Conference in Vietnam.

Works submitted should align with our conference theme on Facilitating Compliance for Food Safety and Quality in International Trade. Topics of the conference include various areas of food safety and analytical science, such as adulteration, contamination, microbiology, ingredients, bioactive substances, genetic modification and alternative proteins. Studies with relations to toxicity on human health or environment, with implications on trade, are also welcome. 

All submissions must be completed online before 18 June 2023. 

The Student Awards Program is one of the activities of AOAC SEA's Training of Young Scientists Working Group and led by Dr. Ching Jianhong this year.

To bring the scientific confidence experiences to as many students as possible, we will support potential candidates with 12 Student Travel Awards to participate in the competition, and then give 3 Best Poster Presentation Awards to the most outstanding ones. 

The deadline for all 2023 Student Awards applications is 5 June 2023. We have received applications from 5 countries and look forward to more participations from the region.

AOAC SEA's work is done by driven, talented volunteer scientists from industry, government, academia, and NGOs. Together, we hope to create positive impacts to scientific communities, the economies and public health.
