LABIP Expert Workshop 2024 “AI tools for fermentation modeling” 7-8 November 2024
LABIP will have its 2024 Expert Workshop 7-8 November 2024 at the Lesaffre facilities in Lille, France with the overall title “AI tools for fermentation modeling”
With the Expert Workshop 2024 LABIP will give its members the opportunity to learn from and discuss with experienced researchers within this field regarding the future application of AI tools for fermentation modeling.
9 well-known experienced researchers have signed up to give their views on this topic at the Expert Workshop.
There is currently a growing acknowledgment that fermentation processes can provide new sustainable solutions to improve food, feed and dietary supplements
In this context Artificial Intelligence AI and modeling can provide fast, useful and reliable tools to develop new functional and beneficial micro-organism.
The Expert Workshop will address and elucidate different issues of applying AI tools and fermentation modeling for functional and beneficial microbes such as Lactic Acid Bacteria, Yeasts, Molds, Firmicutes and other relevant microbes.
