FUTURE FOOD exhibition

The activities related to food research performed at Jožef Stefan Institute including ISO-FOOD are presented at the “FUTURE FOOD” exhibition opened until January 10 at the Chamber of Commerce. The exhibition is organized as a “showroom” of solutions and products with an emphasis on innovative achievements and new solutions of Slovenia.  

The FUTURE FOOD exhibition is the fourth exhibition organized under the single brand FUTURE. All FUTURE exhibitions and related conferences are organized in partnership with various Strategic Development and Innovation Partnerships (SRIPs). This year’s FUTURE FOOD exhibition is organized by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in cooperation with SRIP Food and with the support of the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology of the Republic of Slovenia and SPIRIT Slovenia.

Zois award was awarded

Prof. Dr. Nives Ogrinc received the Zois Award for Excellence in the Use of Stable Isotopes in Interdisciplinary Research.

Prof. Dr. Nives Ogrinc from the Department of Environmental Sciences at the Jozef Stefan Institute received the Zois Award for Excellence for the interdisciplinary use of stable isotopes of light and heavy elements in the fields of physical chemistry, ecology, metrology, food science and archaeology.

She conducted the most extensive research in the study of carbon cycling in aquatic environments and related climate change. An important result of her work is that despite the increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, the Gulf of Trieste is still not susceptible to acidification processes. She upgraded such research by introducing new methods in the field of isotopes in organic chemistry, which is a novelty on a global scale and provides new information on the origin and traceability of organic compounds in the environment. One of its greatest achievements is the use of stable isotopes in foodstuff. She was the first to establish a system for determining the authenticity and traceability of foodstuff in the Slovenian area, which helps to protect consumers and contributes to the promotion of high-quality Slovenian products. Cooperation with archaeologists has led to new insights into the development and way of living of our ancestors and represents an important contribution to the enrichment of Slovenian and world cultural heritage.
