Article Gastro-Science-Chef 2018 is an international two-day symposium on science and cooking held by Taste for Life and Science & Cooking/Harvard in Copenhagen on June 13-14, 2018.

The last couple of decades have witnessed an increasing interaction between chefs and scientists, fueling new trends in both cooking and in the sciences.

This two-day topical symposium brings together chefs, scientists, students, and culinary entrepreneurs to discuss in an informal and creative atmosphere matters of mutual interest with the aim of further cross-fertilization and developing new ideas for future and collaborative work. A particular emphasis will be on communication and public outreach.

The symposium will include workshops with gastronomic and gastrophysical demonstrations and experimentation. The format will include both invited speakers and selected, contributed presentations.
