Synopsis

The IFST Young Scientist Competition is a well established competition and an evening not to be missed. For the first time, the IFST Midlands Branch are hosting a final which will see students from across the Midlands present to a panel of judges from the food industry at the University of Nottingham.

Students from across the region will compete against each other throughout the lively evening. It's a great opportunity to hear students showcase what they are up to, support your friends and of course, connect with other people from within the food industry.
