Global Food Summit 2020: Call for Abstracts & Posters - A Roadmap to a Global Circular Sustainable Food Economy

Closed economic cycles should be intensified in the future in order to achieve the sustainability targets of 2030. The ideas of a closed system are particularly helpful in the area of food production and distribution, as a high level of by-product flows is generated here, which could be used in a circular manner. 

We invite you to submit abstracts and posters on "Circular Food" and "AI in food production". Allow leading scientists, for example from the University of California, Berkeley and Wageningen, the TUM and acatech, but also companies, politics and the media to partake in your research projects. The selected posters will be displayed during the whole conference at a central location and they will be published on our website – together with the abstracts. 

Submit your scientific abstract and poster on "Circular Food" or "AI in food production" to the Global Food Summit 2020.  


Guidelines for the abstract submission:  

  • Please submit your abstracts and posters exclusively online
  • The abstracts and posters shall be written in English or German language
  • The text of the abstracts should not exceed 2500 characters (without spaces) and be phrased ready to be published

The submission period starts on September 9, 2019 and ends on January 15, 2020.   

Please adjust your submissions to the following structure:  

  • Superordinate meaning of the topic
  • Scientific issue of your work
  • Most important theses
  • Presentation of the method
  • Findings / results

The authors ensure that no rights of any third parties are hurt in all illustrations and on all charts. The authors also take responsibility for the accuracy of the presented data. 

After the expiry of the closing date the submitted proposals will be judged by the curators of the Global Food Summit, Prof. Justus Wesseler (Wageningen University & Research), Dr. Simon Reitmeier (Bavarian Food Cluster at the Competence Centre of Nutrition) and Stephan Becker-Sonnenschein (Global Food Summit), according to the following criteria:
