This professional congress is held every two years. It brings together the various academic and industrial players working on olfaction to define new fields of application and prospects for development.
Of the five human senses, olfaction is probably one of the least known, but also one of the most widely used and, above all, one of the most promising. The development of olfaction in everyday life promises considerable advances in fields as varied as food, cosmetics, medicine, the automotive industry and digital technology.
But to glimpse this olfactory future, we need to tame and better understand this sense, capitalize on what we've already learned and pursue research into olfaction.
The 2017 edition aims to study olfaction through 3 sessions:
