We are happy to announce that the 3rd<\/sup> study visit within the project \u201cFOOD Quality in Digital Age\u201d will be organized by the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Belgrade, Serbia in Belgrade and Kopaonik on 30th<\/sup> September \u2013 4th<\/sup> October, 2023. The visit will be combine with Partners\u2019 participation in the 62nd International Meat Industry Conference<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

PROJECT PROMOTION AND DISSEMINATION<\/h4>\n

The 62nd International Meat Industry Conference<\/a> every year gathers ca. 300 participants from the field of food science and technology, what poses a great chance for the Project Partners to promote the \u201cFOOD Quality in Digital Age\u201d network as well as the first project results. With 5 keynote speakers the Project consortium will definitely mark their visibility during the event. Participation in the conference will allow us to exchange knowledge and experience as well as contribute to spreading research excellence to the Balkan region, opening new possibilities of future cooperation, empowering young researchers and sustaining the independence of research.<\/p>\n

TRAINING ON THE COMPUTER VISION SYSTEM (CVS) FOR FOOD QUALITY ASSESSMENT<\/h4>\n

During the visit, PhD students and researchers from Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Serbia will take part in the third module of the 5-modules training on digital food quality evaluation methods. According to his expertise, the Host \u2013 Prof. Igor Toma\u0161evi\u0107 \u2013 will provide a training on computer vision system (CVS) for food quality assessment. Computer vision is a field that involves making a machine \u2018\u2018see\u201d. Humans use their eyes and their brains to see and visually sense the world around them. Computer vision is the science that aims to give a similar, if not better, capability to a machine or computer. CVS is concerned with the automatic extraction, analysis and understanding of useful and meaning information from a single image or a sequence of images. Typically, food quality evaluations are performed by human graders. However, in most cases these manual evaluations are time-consuming and labor-intensive. The accuracy of the human food quality tests cannot be guaranteed. Considering that most of the food sensory parameters are based on chromatic and morphological visual impression, the set-up of an objective method using CVS is very promising. The University of Belgrade have successfully developed and implemented CVS and provided scientific evidence about its accuracy, precision and superiority over traditional food quality evaluation techniques.<\/p>\n

OPEN LECTURE & NETWORKING EVENT – INVITATION<\/h4>\n

As a part of the study visit an open lecture provided by Prof. Bartosz So\u0142owiej \u2013 the Coordinator of the \u201cFOOD Quality in Digital Age\u201d network and a networking meeting with local\/regional academic community and project stakeholders (incl. food producing companies, farmers, business associations, etc.) will be organized. The lecture and the networking meeting will be organized as side-events of the the 62nd International Meat Industry Conference<\/a>. The networking meeting will be a great opportunity to learn about the innovative food quality evaluation methods, exchange knowledge and establish valuable interpersonal links!<\/p>\n

Time and place: <\/strong><\/p>\n

15:00 CET, 3rd<\/sup> October, 2023, Grand Hotel Kopaonik, Serbia, Conference Room Pan<\/strong>\u010d<\/strong>i\u0107 I<\/strong><\/p>\n
