Our approved methodologies and multidisciplinary approaches make our field the undisputed provider of valuable information for innovation. This year’s theme casts the light on how sensory science expands to the profit of new markets. We will explore all innovations allowing sensory science to bloom; new applications, new methodologies, new categories.
Our curiosity is limitless and we are welcoming proposals on a wide variety of topics :
Novel sensory methodologies, tools and application
- What are the latest sensory methodologies and tools, such as virtual reality, gaming and more?
- How do they renew the practices of sensory analysis professionals?
Applications of sensory science in broader spectrum of industries
- How does sensory science apply to emerging industries, among which wearable technology, sustainable materials but as well banking and insurances?
- Besides food and beverages and cosmetics (historical sectors where sensory was first applied), what are the other fields of application to use sensory sciences? What are their approaches?
What defines a brand’s sensory identity?
- Its visual and auditory cues, the sensory invariants of its products, and its territory of extension recognizing that some products may not align sensory-wise with the brand.
- How is the use of AI transforming sensory science, what opportunities does it create for consumer-centric innovations?
- What should be our best practices as sensory experts and market researchers?
- Which guidelines do we take away for its ethical usage?
