FAST FORWARD

EUROPEAN SENSORY SCIENCE SOCIETY
& THE UK PROFESSIONAL FOOD SENSORY GROUP

ANNUAL ONE DAY SENSORY SYMPOSIUM

Monday 13th May 2013, Leatherhead Food Research

In collaboration with the European Sensory Science Society, the UK Professional Food Sensory Group are holding their Annual One Day Sensory Symposium on Monday 13th May 2013. Under the title ‘Fast Forward’ there will be a range of presentations, including talks from Hal MacFie and Erminio Monteleone, oral poster presentations, a poster session and workshops, all looking at developments in sensory and consumer science and the fast pace at which things are moving.

This year we look at how, and speed at which, the sensory and consumer science world is progressing. This event will inspire you to widen your approach by utilising newer, faster technologies and methods. A combination of keynote speakers, workshops and poster presentations will ensure a varied day with plenty of opportunities to expand your sensory network.

CALL FOR POSTER ABSTRACTS: Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words. A selection of abstracts will be chosen for the Oral Poster Session. Please email abstracts to info@carolraithatha.co.uk by 2nd April 2013.
