John Coppock and John Hawthorn Memorial Awards

The United Kingdom Federation for Food Science & Technology (UKFFoST) is offering potential financial support in memory of two UK renowned food scientists. The John Coppock Awards aim to encourage young scientists, technologists and food engineers, based in the UK, to travel to and participate in the next World Congress of Food Science & Technology in 2010, to be held in Cape Town, South Africa.

This will provide an important opportunity for career development through meeting eminent world food scientists and participating in the scientific activities of the international community of food scientists and technologists.
