Dear Friends,
This year is unique for the European Federation for the Science and
Technology of Lipids, we have a jubilee, the 10th Euro Fed Lipid
Congress. This year the place to be is Cracow,
where the great opportunity to discuss what we – lipids’ people –
should advice to Europe and to the world, will arise. We will discuss
what we know, what we do not know and what we
need to know about lipids in the future. Every Section should prepare a
short statement about current knowledge and recommendations for the
future: what should be done, what problems
should be solved, which goals should be achieved.
We should also discuss important lipid problems for Europeans, such as
fats and oils labelling (saturated, trans fatty acids, omega-3 ), bad
fat taxes, safety of fats and oils from GMO plants,
a European system of safety examination of fried fats & oils, as
well as the future of biodiesel, biotechnology of lipids, fully refined
vs. cold pressed/virgin oils, functional fats and oils and
related material, fish oil and feed for fish farming among many
others. This is why we need your voice, your opinion and your share in
our final statements. Join us and be part of it.
The Congress title is: “From Science and Technology to Health”. There
is no doubt that lipids are of great influence to our health. Probably,
they are the most important among all food nutrients.
Moreover, the influence of lipids can be extremely good but also
extremely bad. Lipid Science and Technology should relate to
health issues and this is reflected in all main Congress topics.
Discussion is needed to make our raw materials, processing,
biotechnology more healthy and safer for the natural environment.
The location of the 10th Euro Fed Lipid Congress is unique: Cracow. The
City's magic consists of the unique mix of architecture, art and
historical places. Every year Cracow is visited by over 7 million
tourists.
Our host, Jagiellonian University – is one of the oldest universities
around the world (established in 1364). Additionally we have prepared
for you great trips to interesting and beautiful places around Cracow.
The most important is visit to Nazi Camp Auschwitz Birkenau, place
which has to be visited by every human being. Another trip is to one of
the most beautiful places in the world: the Wieliczka salt mine.
We are delighted to invite you to this beautiful city and look forward
to welcoming you to the 10th Euro Fed Lipid Congress from 23-26
September. Lipids, Cracow and we are waiting for you.

This 1.5-day short course will bring together industry
experts from around the world offering practical information on oilseed
and oil processing and quality issues and how to integrate these in
downstream products. The program is directed at plant engineers,
chemists, technicians, managers, and superintendents.
This is a unique opportunity for new plant personnel
and for those who are experienced to meet experts in the field to
discuss current problems and learn how to enhance their operations.
The course material will also serve as a useful reference for
processors, product formulators, chemists and technicians as well as
business managers familiar with oils & fats processing, and the
production of finished products. Target Group: Decision makers such as technicians, equipment
manufacturers, product formulators, plant engineers, processors,
chemists and sales and marketing specialists.

Cracow
is one of the largest
and oldest cities in Poland and a
popular tourist destination. Its historic centre was inscribed on the
list of World Heritage Sites as the first of its kind. Situated on the
Vistula river in the Lesser Poland region, the city dates
back to
the 7th century. Cracow has traditionally been one of the leading
centres of Polish academic, cultural and artistic life, and is one of
Poland's most important economic centres. It was the capital of Poland
from 1038 to 1596 and the capital of the Grand Duchy of
Cracow
from 1846 to 1918 as part of the Austro
Hungarian Empire..
The Austrian rule in Cracow ended on 31 October
1918, when the
Polish Liquidation Committee assumed power. With the emergence of the
Second Polish Republic, Cracow restored its role as a major academic
and cultural centre with the establishment of new universities
It
became an important cultural centre for the Polish Jews with a Zionist
youth movement relatively strong among the city's Jewish population.
Cracow was also an influential centre of Jewish spiritual life, with
all its manifestations of religious observance from Orthodox, to
Chasidic and Reform flourishing side by side.
After
the
invasion of Poland by Germany and the Sowjet Union in the Second World
War, Cracow was turned into the capital of Germany's General
Government. The Jewish population of the city were moved into a walled
zone known as the Cracow Ghetto, from which they were sent to
extermination camps such as Auschwitz.
Roman Polanski, the film director, was a survivor of the Ghetto, and
Oskar Schindler, the German businessman portrayed in the Steven
Spielberg film Schindler's List, selected employees from the Ghetto to
work in his enamelware plant, thus saving them from the camps.
Cracow
remained relatively undamaged at the end of World War II.After the war, under
the Stalinist
regime, the intellectual and academic community of Cracow was put under
total political control. The universities were soon deprived of their
printing rights as well as their autonomy.The communist
government of the
People's Republic of Poland ordered construction of the country's
largest steel mill in the newly-created suburb of Nowa Huta.The
creation of the giant Lenin Steelworks sealed Cracow's
transformation from a university city to an industrial centre.The new
working class, drawn
by the industrialization of the city, contributed to its rapid
population growth.
In 1978, UNESCO placed Cracow on the list of World Heritage
Sites.
In 2004 Poland became a member of the European Union.
