The European Sensory Science Society is happy to announce the dates of the Symposium 2023.

This year it will take place in collaboration with the Swedish Sensory Network (SSN) (Sweden)

Trade and technology have made the world into a more connected and interdependent place and together we face several challenges, not the least related to climate change but also to an increased prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as obesity. However, when tackling these challenges there is not one global solution, thus we need to consider the diversity and uniqueness of different countries and cultures but also related to individual characteristics of the consumer. Here, sensory methods can contribute with important knowledge and the 11th E3S Annual symposium will include talks related to sensory uniqueness and diversity ranging from products to the individual.

The Children Working Group coordinated by Monica Laureati – University of Milan will present on 15 May 13.00 – 14.15 and the Taste Sensitivity Working Group coordinated by Caterina Dinnella and Sara Spinelli – University of Florence, will hold a workshop on 15 May 14.30 – 15.45.

On May 16th at 9.30 am the winner of the E3S Established Researcher Award 2022 Prof. Erminio Monteleone will present the theme of “Opportunities and challenges for Sensory Food Science”.
