June 1-3, Palermo, Sicily, Italy

We are thrilled to announce the XV International Gluten Workshop, which will take place in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, from June 1st to 3rd.

Today’s consumers increasingly prioritize health, nutrition, and sustainability in their food choices, placing new demands on the food industry. In light of evolving consumer habits, including interest in healthy food, as well as climate change, which could influence crop quality, this workshop seeks to find sustainable and innovative solutions in gluten, cereal research, processing.

These dynamics necessitate a renewed focus on the role of gluten and kernel components in food processing, health, and disease.

This workshop aims to provide a comprehensive forum for discussing these critical issues. Participants will engage with the latest research on gluten-containing cereals, with sessions dedicated to milling, pasta, and bakery products, as well as advancements in breeding, food processing, and nutrition. The event aims to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers to address the challenges facing global food quality and nutrition.

Key Topics:

• Quality of Gluten-Containing Cereals
• Implications of climate change on quality and nutritional properties
• Genetics, Genomics and Breeding of Gluten-Containing Cereals
• Cutting-Edge Research and Technologies on Kernel Components
• Processing and Food Production
• Nutritional Impact and Health Effects

The choice of Palermo as the venue is particularly fitting, given Sicily’s historical significance in wheat cultivation and its central role in Mediterranean food culture. The city’s rich heritage will provide an inspiring context for discussions on the future of global wheat production and utilization.

The XV International Gluten Workshop represents a valuable opportunity for the scientific community to come together, share expertise, and explore new approaches to the pressing issues of our time.

We are confident that this workshop will serve as an important platform for advancing research on gluten and wheat quality, and we look forward to your contributions to this vital field. We invite you to join us in Palermo to engage with cutting-edge research and to experience the unique cultural and culinary heritage of Sicily.
