The World Mycotoxin Forum® – 15th conference

The 15th conference of The World Mycotoxin Forum® – WMFmeetsSalzburg – took place in the beautiful Austrian city of Salzburg, bringing together global experts to address one of the food and feed industry’s most pressing challenges: mycotoxins. With the theme ‘building a resilient food system in the digital decade’, the conference explored cutting-edge research, innovative management strategies, and fostered international collaboration to drive sustainable solutions forward.

We would like to say a big thank you to all participants, sponsors, exhibitors, and media partners for taking part in this event and making it the huge success that it was. It was the best attended event until now, with 430 participants from 49 countries, 118 posters, and 26 sponsors/exhibitors.
