In October 2026, several European events will focus on food science and innovation. The Ecotrophelia Europa 2026 final is scheduled to take place at SIAL Paris on October 18 and 19, where 17 international teams will present food proposals to a jury. One notable entry includes a snack from Spain’s Universidad Politécnica de Valencia designed to reduce food waste by using pumpkin.

Additionally, the Fête de la Science 2026 will be held in Rumilly, France, from October 2 to 12. Centered on the theme ‘savory flavors’, the event will explore the scientific aspects of taste and cooking through workshops, conferences, and exhibitions, such as the ‘Agri-curieux’ session focusing on plant biology.
