We offer a new PhD course in sensory science: "Sensory evaluation and food preferences". The course is open for registration until 11 April 2023 and takes place at the Department of Food Science at the University of Copenhagen 10-12 may 2023.
The course introduces the foundations of sensory science and the practice of performing sensory tests with trained panels and by consumers, including their design and execution and assessing sensory and consumer data.
Besides teaching classical sensory evaluation tools, attention is on measuring food motives in different cultural settings with an emphasis on healthy and sustainable food choices and the impact of situational contexts. The price for PhD students is 1500 DKK and for postdoctoral university staff/Non-profit 3000 DKK. For industry staff/for profit 7500 DKK.
