Also on the Thursday afternoon (immediately before, during and after the above reception) we will be welcoming the University of Aberdeen Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health whic will be available within our offices to outline its research underpinning the food industry as well and its involvement in the new food industry initiatives.
