Eurosense 2014: VI Conferenza Europea Scienze Sensoriali e Consumer Science: A Sense of Life

The 2014 EUROSENSE meeting addresses the wide-ranging theme of a Sense of Life. Sensory and consumer science is an evolving discipline moving from a few well-established research organisations to many actors in all corners of our planet. The field has strong tights to the industry but at the same time affects our cultures and increases awareness about ourselves and the choices we make as human beings. Some of the invited speakers will offer a Scandinavian perspective for the Eurosense. Traditionally the Nordic culture has focus on the welfare and well-being of individuals through simple design, functionality and focus on sustainability goods, living conditions and services. This has been embedded in citizens of the Nordic from early age to elderly. The Eurosense organisers take the opportunity to elaborate on the quality of life across the life span as a focus point in the programme of the conference.

Inspiring ideas, thoughts, words, discussions; inspiring people: new ways of thinking, creativity and curiosity are important drivers in all research fields, as well as in the development of new products, methods, processes or technologies is very welcome.
