SENSORY & CONSUMER SCIENCE. THINKING OUT OF THE BOX

SENSORY & CONSUMER SCIENCE. THINKING OUT OF THE BOX

Symposium of the Sensorik Netzwerk Österreich (SNÖ)

in partnership with the European Sensory Science Society (E3S)

May 12-13th, 2014

Vienna, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences

REGISTER NOW

Registration deadline: April 28, 2014

In 2014, a symposium will be organised by the Austrian Sensory Network SNÖ in partnership with the European Sensory Science Society E3S. It will be held in Vienna on May 12-13, 2014 at the University of Life Sciences and it will simultaneously be the 4. Annual Meeting of the SNÖ.

This symposium will cover topics that are located in scientific regions that might be considered as peripheral to traditional sensory analysis. Nevertheless, these research fields make high demands on the involved scientists and might influence the sensory and consumer science considerably in the future. This meeting will also give a forum to demonstrate the inter- and multi-disciplinarity of sensory and consumer science.

Invited speakers:

  • Madalena Diaconu, Univ. of Vienna
  • Erich Leitner, Graz Univ. of Technology
  • Susanne Maunz, FH Joanneum – Univ. of Applied Sciences, Graz
  • Konrad Domig, Univ. of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna

Furthermore, there will be room for a ‘speakers’ corner’ to give sensory scientists the chance to present their recent results.

In addition to the scientific program, the general assembly of the E3S will take place on May 12.

The E3S working groups ‘PDO products’ and ‘Children’ will hold a mini-symposium and a meeting, respectively in the forefront of the workshop.
