The Third ASRTU Sino-Russian Bilateral Symposium on Innovation Food Science and Equipment was held on the main campus of Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) from Dec. 21st to Dec. 23rd, 2018. The symposium was hosted by HIT, co-organized by the Association of Sino-Russian Technical Universities (ASRTU), and undertaken by the Institute of Extreme Environmental Nutrition and Protection as well as the National-Local Joint Engineering Laboratory for Extreme Environmental Nutritional Molecule Synthesis and Separation.
The ASRTU Sino-Russian Bilateral Symposium on Innovation Food Science and Equipment was initiated by ASRTU and the Institute of Extreme Environmental Nutrition and Protection in 2003. This year the symposium, centered on the frontier of food science and equipment innovation in the 21st century, aimed to promote progress and advancement in the field of food science and equipment through more cooperation between China and Russia. The topics of the symposium included environment and food, development and application of raw materials and ingredients for instruments and equipment, advances in biomedicine, green chemistry of food nutrition, food safety and testing methods, etc. Over 180 participants from more than 40 universities and research institutes in China and Russia attended the symposium. 120 plus papers were received and a total of 43 scholars made presentations at the symposium. Moreover, an innovation forum for graduate students was specially set up, in which more than 60 graduate students reported their related research work.
