The opening address will consider the economic and social forces shaping the demandfor cereal products and which in turn, influence the associated research programmes.Thereafter, the programme will be wholly scientific, each section opening with an updateor overview paper leading into contributed papers, which will deal with technologicaldevelopment and recent or current research. Papers on cereals other than wheat will bewelcomed, and while bread may well figure largely in the section on baking technology,papers on other cereal products such as breakfast foods, flour confectionery and biscuitsare being sought.
