Annual ROS Workshop

ROS Workshop Slider

The Roll Up One’s Sleeves (ROS) Workshop is the International Milk Genomics Consortium’s virtual workshop series dedicated to advancing translational milk science. This platform convenes experts across disciplines to identify critical scientific and technical hurdles, share emerging evidence, and recruit innovative solutions that accelerate the translation of milk science discoveries into real-world applications.

Each ROS Workshop features a structured, interactive format. The first two hours are devoted to invited oral presentations from leading researchers, followed by a one-hour moderated panel discussion that actively engages attendees. Through dialogue and cross-disciplinary exchange, participants gain practical insight into how foundational discoveries in milk science can be translated into concepts, technologies, and products that support human health across the lifespan.
