Founded in 1943, the Society of Dairy Technology (SDT) is at the forefront of the dairy and food industries. The Society is the recognised professional body fostering scientific and technological developments in the dairy industries of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Whilst its many members are predominantly from these two countries, it also has wider international representation through overseas members drawn from other EU countries and further afield. Our purpose is to advance professional development and recognition through knowledge transfer and networking.
