ASIC 2023

Dear Colleagues,

The 29^th ASIC Conference on Coffee Science is now planned to be held 11 Sept. - 14 Sept. 2023 in Hanoi (Vietnam).

ASIC (Association for the Science and Information on Coffee) has been existing for 56 years already and has organized regularly conferences on coffee science most usually every second year, trying to alternate coffee producing and consuming countries.

I would like to take this opportunity to warmly thank, on behalf of ASIC and the scientific community working on coffee, the Vietnamese authorities who have accepted to organize this 29^th conference.

Vietnam is the second largest coffee producing country in the world and the largest producer of Robusta coffee. In the north of the country, Arabica coffee is also grown in the mountain areas.

This conference represents a unique opportunity to gather specialists from all over the world working on different aspects of coffee science and technology. During the conference, all possible aspects of coffee science will be developed and the participants will be able to hear and share novelties on the different following topics:

• agronomy: genetics, botany, agrotechnology, pests and diseases, agroecology, etc.;
• chemistry: coffee analysis, chemical composition, aroma, etc.;
• technology: green coffee processing, roasting, grinding, extraction, decaffeination, etc.;
• physiological effects: coffee and health.

As the President of ASIC, I am cordially inviting all scientists working in the field of coffee and interested in sharing their research data to presently take good care of themselves and families. Do not forget to add to your agenda the next 29^th ASIC Conference that will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam, from 11 Sept. - 14 Sept. 2023 which will allow taking advantage of all nice meeting and learning opportunities offered by the event. We will be very happy to welcome you in Hanoi next year.

Astrid NEHLIG, President of ASIC
