Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of "Food Biotechnology" at South Ural State University (Chelyabinsk, Russia), delivered a lecture for students of the International Engineering and Technological University (METU) on the topic "Convergent Approaches in the Biotechnology of New Generation Food Systems". This significant event attracted the attention of students and experts in the field of food technology, as it addressed the most relevant directions in biotechnology.

The professor`s lecture for METU students on "Convergent Approaches in the Biotechnology of New Generation Food Systems" provided students with several important opportunities and advantages:

1. Deep knowledge and understanding of new technologies: METU students gained up-to-date knowledge about advanced developments in biotechnology, such as alternative protein sources, smart packaging, and molecular technologies, which form the foundation of new food systems. This knowledge is essential for staying competitive in the job market in the future.
2. Interdisciplinary approach: The lecture emphasized the importance of convergent technologies, which combine various scientific and technical fields. This allows students to broaden their horizons and understand how to apply knowledge from different disciplines to solve complex problems in the food industry and biotechnology.
3. Development of critical thinking: METU students learn to view problems from different perspectives and find innovative solutions, which contributes to the development of their analytical and research skills.
4. Relevance and practical significance: The knowledge gained during the lecture helps students better understand current global issues, such as food security, sustainable development, and environmental challenges, and provides them with tools to develop new technologies that can solve these problems.
5. Career opportunities: Mastering such promising areas as the biotechnology of new generation food systems makes students attractive candidates for work in advanced scientific and industrial organizations engaged in environmentally friendly and sustainable technologies in the food industry.

Thus, the lecture provides METU students not only with theoretical knowledge but also with a practical understanding of how new technologies can transform the food industry and how they can contribute to this process.
