VENUE:

Welcome to our FFC34 venue, the Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL) is a prominent food research institute in Spain, jointly operated by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM). Established in 2011, CIAL is part of the UAM+CSIC International Excellence Campus.

Food and Agriculture Organization: CIAL's mission is to advance scientific knowledge in food science, nutrition, and health, focusing on the relationship between food and human health, food safety, and consumer acceptance. 

CIAL is organized into three departments:

  • Bioactivity and Food Analysis
  • Food Biotechnology and Microbiology
  • Production and Characterization of New Foods

The institute boasts state-of-the-art facilities, such as the Novalindus Platform, the Metabolomics Platform, and the Dynamic GI Digestion Simulator (simgi®). Additionally, CIAL offers scientific and technical services through its Bioanalytical Techniques Facility (BAT).

CIAL has been at the forefront of innovative research, including the development of foodomics—a discipline that integrates advanced analytical techniques to study food and nutrition. The Laboratory of Foodomics,  is renowned for its contributions to this field.

As one of the seven leading food research institutes in Spain, CIAL plays a crucial role in advancing food science and technology, contributing to innovation, commercial value, and public well-being.
