Interest on food-derived bioactive peptides is on the rise. Built upon our previous successful symposia, the first one held in Hangzhou (China) in 2017 and the second held in Valencia (Spain) in 2019, this Symposium aims to re-connect the professionals, after the pandemic, and to provide a platform that allows academia, industry and government to exchange ideas and share the latest knowledge and innovations in bioactive peptides, network and develop collaborations and partnerships among professionals in academia, industry, and governments, and, promote the growth and professionalism of a new generation of bioactive peptide researchers.
