Following are scientific meetings on sensory science and related topics |
Dates: July 26-30, 2009
Location: Florence, Italy
The objective of this Symposium, held in memorandum of Rose Marie Pangborn, is to offer a unique opportunity to share experiences, to exchange ideas and to allow discussions among basic and applied sensory scientists, academia and industry, and students and experts with diverse product interests. Dates: August 14-15, 2009
Location: Washington DC
The Flavor Research Workshop is designed to help scientists involved in flavors. Fundamentals of flavor research will be reviewed and the latest technology discussed by world renowned flavor scientists from both industry and academia. During informal receptions at the end of each day, participants and instructors will have the opportunity to discuss topics of interests. Date: June 28 - July 1, 2008
Location: New Orleans, LA
The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) is a nonprofit scientific society with members working in food science, food technology, and related professions in industry, academia and government. The stated mission of IFT is to advance the science and technology of food through the exchange of knowledge. This large group contains several different professional divisions, one of which is the Sensory Evaluation Division (SED). The SED routinely sponsors at least one session of technical talks on sensory evaluation (as well as a social networking event) at each meeting. In addition, several sensory evaluation consulting companies and companies that create computer software for the sensory scientists typically can be found at the Expo. Dates: April 8 - 10, 2008 Location: Anaheim, CA Dates: November 3-5, 2008 Location: Covington, KY
The E18 meets twice a year (usually in April and October) with approximately 100 of approximately 270 members attending over three days of technical meetings, capped by a presentation on relevant topics in the Sensory Evaluation Field. The Committee currently has jurisdiction of over 20 standards (published in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Volume 15.07), which “have and continue to play a preeminent role in all aspects important to the sensory field.”
Date: July 21 - 26, 2008
Location: San Francisco, CA
The Association for Chemoreception Sciences (AChemS) was created to integrate diverse groups of basic and clinical investigators interested in taste and smell. The annual meetings serve as a forum for a variety of different scientific disciplines, united by an interest in the chemical senses (taste, smell, flavor and irritation). Research presented at each meeting encompasses works from basic, clinical, and applied areas of the chemical senses. This year AChemS is combined with the International Symposium on Olfaction and Taste (ISOT) Meeting. Sensory and Consumer Science - the interface between research and marketing Date: April 15-16, 2008
Location: University of Pretoria, South Africa
The European Sensory Network (ESN) will be meeting in South Africa and will present a number of events to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the University of Pretoria. At least twenty five experienced sensory scientists from twenty three countries will be present.
Date: July 1-4, 2008
Location: Interlaken, Switzerland
The scope of the Symposium is to bring together researchers from academia and industry working in flavor to exchange and discuss recent results and experiences in a unique formal and informal atmosphere. The program topics address traditional as well as emerging areas of flavor and sensory research, from flavor chemistry to flavor perception.
Date: April 6 to 10, 2008
Location: New Orleans, LA
Date: August 17 - 21, 2008
Location: Philadelphia, PA
The American Chemical Society holds two national meetings a year. The Division of Agriculture and Food Chemistry holds symposia on a variety of topics concerning flavor in the latter part of the year.
Date: July 20-23, 2008 Location: St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada Sensometrics is the scientific area that applies mathematical and statistical methods to problems from sensory science. The main aims of this meeting are (1) to increase awareness that specialized methodologies and statistical methods are needed for sensory and consumer science, (2) to improve the communication between those interested in sensometrics, and (3) to disseminate scientific knowledge on the field. Date: September 3-7, 2008
Location: Portoroz, Slovenia
The goal of ECRO is the promotion of research in chemoreception, encouraging a multi-disciplinary approach. One of the activities in which they engage in order to obtain this goal is the organization of large biennial scientific meetings with lectures, poster sessions and free communication. Although it began as a European venture, it now has members from outside Europe and sees its function as world-wide. Date: July 19-23, 2008
Location: Atlanta, GA
The Food Choice Conference is a unique multidisciplinary forum. Through keynote lectures, symposia, open sessions of short talks, and poster presentations, participants will discuss the latest developments in research on cognitive, social, cultural, economic, interpersonal, psychological and sensory determinants of the selection and intake of foods and drinks, and its consequences for health and wellbeing. |
