Electroporation and Pulsed Electric Fields for Food and Environment

The 2026 World Congress of Electroporation and Pulsed Electric Fields in Biology, Medicine, Food and Environmental Technologies, held in Daytona Beach, United States, from September 27th to October 1st, 2026, brought together leading experts from across the globe to discuss the latest advances, innovations, and challenges in the application of electroporation and pulsed electric fields (PEF) in food science and technology, as well as in bioeconomy and biorefinery applications. To further showcase and disseminate the knowledge generated through this vibrant scientific exchange, we warmly invite all congress participants, together with the broader electroporation and pulsed electric fields community, to submit their latest research and review articles to this special issue.
