External Scientific Advisory Board
In 2022, the Scientific Advisory Board met with our scientists and innovation leaders to challenge and review our scientific work across the company and give advice on trends and upcoming technologies. We extended this team of internationally recognized experts by the inclusion of two new members, Remko Boom and Jeroen Raes, strengthening the scientific knowledge on microbiome and food process engineering.
