Dear Colleague,

After 10 years of rotation through Europe the Euro Fed Lipid congress returns to the country where it all began. Back in 2000, approx. 300 delegates gathered in Würzburg for what was originally planned as the 53rd DGF congress, then co-organized by DGF and AFECG as a "Joint International Congress" and later declared to be the first Euro Fed Lipid congress. During the congress, four societies from France, UK, The Netherlands and Germany decided to found a new European Federation - at this time more a vision than a reality.

Euro Fed Lipid has since then come a long way. The federation has grown to eleven member societies with the 12th about to join.
The congresses are recognized as annual "don't miss this!" event of the Lipids, Fats and Oils world with up to 850 delegates, including 200 students. We are equally pleased that our journal, the "European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology" is now -with a 5 year impact factor of 1.582- a well received publication, on a global scale.

We now look forward very much to adding to this exiting development and kindly invite you to take part in what is expected to become a special highlight, the 8th Euro Fed Lipid congress in Munich. If fats, oils and lipids are your profession, Munich is the place to be this autumn.

The aim of the colloquium is an interdisciplinary exchange of experiences along the existing regulations with subjects as follows:
-    experiences with the values of intensities for negative and positive attributes after the introduction of the Reg. (EG) 640/2008 including the results for light, medium and intense fruitiness and the
     benefits for consumers

-    experiences with the organoleptic assessment extended with the quality factor ?harmony?/?persistency?  (short presentation and handout)
-    experiences with the combined attribute ?fusty/muddy sediment? incl. winey originating from aerobic fermentation
-    experiences with other negative attributes in EVOO like grubby, wet wood etc.
-    experiences about the partly poor content of analysis reports
-    What differences in competence are there between panels from the IOC short list and other accredited panels?
-    short conclusion about the benefit of this programme and future planning
 The programme may be subject to change.

Open to Panel Supervisors and/or their substitutes only. (Panels with competence according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 for organoleptic assessment of virgin Olive Oils).
The  Moderators will monitor subjects and speaking time.

Munich is located on the River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps. With a population of 1.3 million it is Germany's third largest city.
Munich
The year 1158 is assumed to be the foundation date, which is only the earliest date the city is mentioned in a document. By that time the Guelph Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria, had built a bridge over the river Isar next to a settlement of Benedictine monks. Almost two decades later in 1175 Munich was officially granted city status and received fortification. In 1506 Munich became capital of the whole of Bavaria and in 1806 capital of the new Kingdom of Bavaria.
The city was heavily damaged during World War II and was completely rebuilt following a meticulous and - by comparison to other war-ravaged German cities - rather conservative plan which preserved its pre-war street grid. In 1957 Munich's population passed the 1 million mark.

coat of armsThe city's motto used to be "Die Weltstadt mit Herz" (The world city with a heart) for a long time but has recently been replaced by "München mag dich" (Munich loves you). Its native name, München, stems from an Old German word predating the word "Mönche" of today's High German, meaning "Monks". Therefore, the figure on Munich's coat-of-arms is a monk, and is referred to as the Münchner Kindl, the child of Munich.

Residents of Munich typically enjoy a high quality of life. Mercer HR Consulting consistently rates the city among the top 10 cities with highest quality of life worldwide.
 
Munich has the strongest economy of any German city and is also the economic centre of southern Germany.  Siemens A.G. (electronics) , BMW (car), MAN AG (truck manufacturer, engineering), Linde (gases), Allianz (insurance) and Munich Re (re-insurance) have their headquarters in the town.

Deutsches Museum, located on an island in the Isar, is one of the oldest and largest science museums in the world. A visit is highly recommended! The museum is very close to the congress venue.

Munich is home to several professional football teams, including Germany's most popular club, FC Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich.
hofbraeuThe Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, arguably the most famous beer hall worldwide, is located in the city centre. It also operates the second largest tent at the Oktoberfest, one of Munich's most famous attractions.

The Weißwürste ('white veal sausages'), traditionally eaten only before 12 p.m. and often served with sweet mustard and freshly baked Brezen . (pretzels) are a Munich speciality, as is Leberkäs, Bavarian baked sausage loaf often served with potato salad.

The Main Train Station, Hauptbahnhof, is located in the centre of Munich, only approximately 2 km from the central square Marienplatz. More than 800 long-distance trains and regional trains arrive and depart every day. From the main station take underground line U4 to the terminal station Arabellapark.

Arriving by Car
Those who prefer going by car, can easily reach Munich by motorway from all directions.
The A9 coming from the north leads directly into the city centre. If you're coming from the East, the A92 leads you into Munich. The southeast is connected to the capital by the A8 from Salzburg, the southwest via the A96. Coming from the west, you can either take A8 from Stuttgart or the A95 from Lindau.
