The deadline for abstract submissions for the 77th Annual Meeting of the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP) is approaching.  If you want to share your research in Hamburg this September, you have until March 1st, 2026 to get your submission in! 🪰 Focus on Insect Science As always, there is a dedicated lineup of insect sessions exploring the latest in alternative proteins and circular economy. This is a fantastic opportunity to present your work to a global network

Our channel is officially live:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXF1tQyLbQlhRu2PWcWks6w We’re genuinely happy to start sharing knowledge more openly, supporting the fast-growing sector of insects as food & feed, with a special focus on insect nutrition, where innovation (and enthusiasm) is moving at a fast pace! A special thank you to Eleni Koutsogeorgiou , Jérémy GUILLAUME, Diego Cruz Fagua , and  Christina Adamaki-Sotiraki   for kindly agreeing to make their presentations
