Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are pleased to welcome you to the 8th Cereals & Europe Spring Meeting 2024 to be held on 10-12 April in Zagreb, Croatia.

Today as we face many challenges, from climate change to the grain supply chain, from the technological development and consumer demand, we come to realise more than ever that cereal food safety, healthiness and security are extremely important to feed the future population and supports its healthiness. The Cereals & Grain Association (formerly AACC International) continues to advance cereal science and bakery technology by providing the latest research, trends and perspectives from around the world/Europe.

The 8th Cereals & Europe Spring Meeting 2024 (8th CESM 2024), will bring together industry and academic experts from a variety of fields to stay abreast of the latest developments in the exciting world of cereals. The meeting will cover a wide range of topics, including agronomic and climatic aspects of cereal systems, nutrition and health, quality, safety and consumer perception of cereal products, innovation and adding value to the cereal chain.

Please join us at this productive and exciting meeting. We hope to celebrate again our successes, explore new ideas for future research, expand our networks and renew our friendships. 

We look forward to welcoming you all in person in beautiful Zagreb!
