11th E3S annual Symposium 2023

The Swedish Sensory Network is pleased to announce its annual symposium organized in conjuction with the European Sensory Science Society and hosted by Uppsala university on the 15-16 of May 2023.

The Symposium is entitled "Uniquenes and diversity in a globalized word - a sensory perspective"
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 from both industry and academia related to sensory uniqueness and diversity ranging from products to the individual.
