The role of context

AIM OF THE COURSE
The aim of this advanced course is to acquire expertise regarding the major determinants of food preferences and
intake: sensory perception and the role of context; to obtain knowledge and experience in different methods on how to measure (and analyse) these aspects.

COURSE DESIGN
The course will be mainly composed of lectures with ample opportunity for discussions. There will be short presentations of the research plans of the participants, a tour through the facilities of Human Nutrition with respect to sensory/consumer/nutrition behaviour, as well as a workshop/demo on various methods to measure and analyse behavioural responses to food products. During the week we will move from fundamental science and experimental lab settings towards more real-life test methods and consumer insights.
