The Annual IMGC Symposium is the IMGC’s flagship global conference, held each fall in a rotating international location. The Symposium showcases the latest cutting-edge research and discoveries in milk science and their implications for human health. It serves as a dynamic, collaborative, and multidisciplinary forum—bringing together academia, industry, and partners in a pre-competitive space to advance understanding of the structures, functions, actions, and benefits of milk, and to accelerate the translation of that knowledge into practice. Join us in shaping the future of milk science.
The Awards Program was created to recognize outstanding scientists from different stages in their careers from students to world-renowned emeriti for their significant discoveries, advancements; and distinguished careers in milk science.
SPLASH® Milk Science Update translates the latest discoveries in lactation and milk science from primary literature into clear, accessible articles for a global audience. Published every other month, SPLASH® features four curated scientific topics that bridge disciplines—from human health to agricultural sciences—with a strong emphasis on “omics”-driven research. With a searchable archive of more than 500 articles, SPLASH® reaches over 200,000 readers worldwide each year, connecting cutting-edge milk science to discovery, understanding, and impact.
"The IMGC’s vision is to be the world’s knowledge hub of mechanistic science and innovation in lactation and milk and to bring discoveries to practice."
The Annual IMGC Roll Up One’s Sleeves (ROS) Workshop tackles the critical translational challenges in milk science, bringing together diverse disciplines to identify key hurdles and spark innovative solutions. The goal is for participants to leave inspired and better equipped to translate scientific discoveries into meaningful concepts and products that advance human health.
