The AGROSTAT conference aims at drawing an overview of the use of statistical methods in the food industry and at evaluating practical benefits given by new techniques. It offers an ideal opportunity to statisticians and industrial users to meet, exchange experiences, keep in touch with the state-of-art of statistical methods in the food industry and evaluate their impact upon food quality and industrial competitiveness.
The conference focuses strongly on applications. It should be of particular interest for professionals using statistics in the food industry, i.e., people in charge of quality control, production engineering, research and development.
The aim is to highlight the power of statistical analysis as a decision tool and as a help for defining locally optimal competitive industrial strategies.
Privileged conference themes
Posters related to other topics are welcome.
On February 23th, the day before the conference, a special afternoon of introduction to sensory analysis is proposed to members of industries and research laboratories.

In 2010, for the second time, the AGROSTAT conference will be organized out of France and the organizers would really like to welcome non French speakers.
All slides of presentations and posters will be in English. Oral presentations will be in English or French but a simultaneous translation will be proposed.
