Welcome Message
We are delighted to invite you to the 72nd International Congress of Meat Science and Technology (ICoMST), which will be held at the Daejeon Convention Center in Daejeon, South Korea, from 9th to 14th August 2026.

Following the remarkable success of ICoMST 2010 at Jeju island, we are excited to welcome the global meat science and technology community back to Korea with our theme “Big Step Forward to the Future Meat”. ICoMST serves as the leading forum for researchers, industry professionals, and policy-makers from all sectors of the meat supply chain to exchange the latest scientific knowledge, discuss emerging trends, and develop new collaborations that inspire future progress in the field of meat science and technology.

Our exciting, forward-looking scientific program will be complemented by technical and scenic tours, offering all participants not only valuable professional insights but also a chance to enjoy the vibrant culture, culinary heritage, and innovative attractions of Daejeon, a center of Korea, and its surroundings. We believe these experiences will help make your participation both meaningful and memorable.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we look forward to welcoming you to Daejeon in August 2026. Join us as we create lasting memories and take a significant step together toward the future of meat science and technology.

From Organizing Committee of 2026 ICoMST
