Rubén Barroso Martínez is the Spanish deputy student representative and is studying the social construction of Canary volcanic wines at the Institute of Natural Products and Agrobiology (IPNA-CSIC) as part of Social Sciences, Heritage & Food group. Their research focuses on wine sensory descriptors that are not clearly defined, he is currently working on the ‘volcanicity’, aiming to conceptualize it and understand their discourses and mental representations, as well as exploring if a global concept of ‘transvolcancity’ on wines is shared across expert panels and different professional profiles.
As a committee representative they aim to strengthen connections between sensory science groups in Spain — from well-established institutions to emerging teams with great potential. By promoting training and research exchange, I aim to support a new generation of young sensory scientists and encourage wider integration within the European network.
