NUTRITION AND HEALTH 2021 IMGC Sponsorship

The 2021 International Milk Genomics Consortium (IMGC) Symposium on Milk Genomics and Human Health will be held in the fall utilizing a virtual format and/or in conjunction with a physical location yet to be determined. IMGC offers the milk science community an opportunity to build a unique cross-functional and supportive culture in which to share, learn and potentially collaborate to advance milk science. IMGC offers a forum to increase awareness of scientific advancements and identify commercial opportunities. Given the pace of scientific progress, it is challenging to keep up to date with the latest topics in milk science and human health. In the past year over 20,000 scientific articles were published and indexed with the keyword “milk” in the major medical and agricultural databases. The aim of SPLASH!® milk science update, an e-newsletter , is to provide updates highlighting the very best scientific articles on milk and dairy and to translate the content of these articles for the non-expert. The content of SPLASH!® is emailed to subscribers, posted to the CDRF-owned website, “milkgenomics.org,“ and on social media via twitter at @imgcmedia. CDRF manages the contracts and finances/contracts for the IMGC Symposium and SPLASH! on behalf of the IMGC; all IMGC expenses are paid from the sponsorship account of the IMGC. The proposed budget request is in support of the CDRF sponsorship and involvement as a guiding member of the IMGC.
