This series of tri-annual symposia on Lactic Acid Bacteria was started in 1983 to communicate and stimulate research on Lactic Acid Bacteria and their application. The aim of these symposia is to bring together academic and industrial researchers interested in the state of the art of LAB research.

The opportunity for face-to-face interactions has been denied to the community for the last five years. At last, we can come together to present our recent work, to obtain information on new developments and to ex-change views with colleagues from all over the world on scientific progress and applications.

The symposium will highlight the role Lactic Acid Bacteria play in the production of food and feed, how they promote health through probiotic applications and showcase new technical advances.

At the traditional home of the LAB symposia, Congress Centre “Hotel Zuiderduin” in Egmond aan Zee, the Netherlands. This Congress Centre is located in a beautiful North Sea village, easily accessible by car and public transport.

Deadline early bird extended

In response to comments that some people were having difficulty with the short deadline to the early bird registration, the organising committee of the 14th International Symposium on Lactic Acid bacteria have extended the deadline to 23:59 CET on the 24th of March 2023. Hopefully, this will give you time to make the necessary arrangements and we look forward to welcoming in you in Egmond aan Zee for an exciting symposium.
