Sponsorship Options
The World Food Safety Day Undergraduate Global Symposium is an event for any undergraduate student from anywhere in the world, to share about food safety. These proactive, ambitious and creative students will share in one of four areas, with this year’s World Food Safety Day theme in mind, which is science in action. While we will appeal to the global population of students interested in food microbiology, this first Symposium will focus on delegates from Australia, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore.
Our conservative forecasts and projections of attending delegates and abstract submissions is a total of 198 delegates with 21 abstract submissions and thus oral presentations.
Country | Expected number of delegates | Expected abstract submissions |
Australia | 75 | 8 |
Malaysia | 75 | 8 |
Singapore | 10 | 1 |
Philippines | 38 | 4 |
