SUMMARY:Insects as Food and Feed Special Interest Group (SIG) 2026
DESCRIPTION:Insects as Food and Feed Special Interest Group (SIG) 2026\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday 18th – Friday 19th November 2026 (timings TBC) \n\n\n\nVenue: Central London (venue TBC) \n\n\n\nAfter such a successful meeting in October 2025\, we are pleased to announce that plans for IAFF2026 are under way!

Compared to previous events I’ve been to\, the breadth of topics covered was superb and the quality of the Keynote speakers excellent. This was everything you hope for at such an event.” \n\n\n\n“It was packed with amazing information (relevant to my research) and rejuvenated my energies to move forward with studies.” \n\n\n\n“I enjoyed the diversity of attendees\, both academic and industry.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPartner with us\n\n\n\nWe would love to hear from you if you are interested in partnering with us at IAFF26\, as a sponsor or exhibitor. We are happy to tailor packages to suit your needs and budget.

With a strong academic and industry background in vector-borne diseases\, she maintains extensive links across academia and industry\, including ongoing supervision and support of students. Elected a Fellow of the Society in 2025\, she works across a broad portfolio of projects supporting emerging member needs\, strengthening links between science and industry\, and helping the RES develop innovative services for newly evolving areas of entomology.  \n\n\n\nJess leads the Society’s work on insects as food and feed\, supporting the development of best practice\, policy-relevant guidance\, and engagement with industry and other stakeholders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Amor\, University of Bristol \n\n\n\nDaniel pursued a PhD at Nottingham\, focusing on the relationship between insect protein structure and functionality in food systems – particularly in developing sustainable\, high-protein snack products using compression popping. Following his PhD\, Daniel continued as a researcher at Nottingham\, contributing to a wide range of projects in soft matter biomaterials and biointerfaces\, from fundamental biomaterials studies to clinical applications of non-fermentable fibre.  \n\n\n\nDaniel now teaches Biochemistry at the University of Bristol\, where he co-convenes IAFF. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKieran Robertson\, Queen’s University Belfast \n\n\n\nKieran is a TEDx Speaker\, Convenor of the RES Food & Feed Special Interest Group\, Co-Chair and Secretary of the IWRS Early Career Committee\, and a PhD Researcher at the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University Belfast. Throughout his PhD\, Robertson seeks to research the application of insects and insect proteins in livestock feed to reduce soybean dependence and support sustainable agri-food systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration coming soon\n\n\n\nNote: By registering for and attending this event\, you acknowledge that photographs and/or video recordings may be taken.
