When contemplating creativity, most people envision a painting, a composition, or something else that engages the eyes & ears. This leaves out an entire realm - the world of the chemical senses. Janice Wang, an associate professor at the Univ. of Copenhagen, is determined to change that. She explores how chemosensory creativity can be investigated & trained.
Who are we?
For 35 years, the European Sensory Network has served as a central platform for collaboration in sensory and consumer science. We've assembled a network of 44 international partners, spanning academia, national research institutes, research agencies, and industry. Our aim is straightforward — to enhance the positive impact of sensory and consumer science within both the research and business community and society at large.
In pursuit of this goal, we actively conduct innovative research, facilitate mutual education among our members and the next generation, and communicate the inherent value of sensory and consumer research. Our focus is clear: promoting the development of more sustainable, healthy, flavorful, and economically accessible products.
Our spectrum of interests is broad, ranging from alternative proteins to sustainable packaging, from wellbeing-enhancing food and fragrances to addressing food waste, and from AI-driven analysis to the integration of game-based learning.
The European Sensory Network remains dedicated to exploring and advancing the cutting-edge facets of our field. Join us in navigating the nuanced landscape of sensory and consumer science.
