• Institute for Perception course: A Powerful Framework to Improve Sensory Measurement

  • Start
    10 Jun 2013

  • End
    11 Jun 2013
  • Location
    The Radisson BLU EU, Brussels, Belgium

  In this 2 day course, you will achieve a deeper understanding of traditional discrimination and rating methods by learning a common framework in which to interpret results across methodologies. In particular, you will learn how to select the most suitable and powerful discrimination methodology based on project objectives, how to develop standards to detect when sensory differences and ratings exceed a consumer-relevant acceptability threshold, how to assess and manage risks in product testing decisions, and effectively use the “no preference/difference” option.

  This course is taught by Dr. Benoît Rousseau and Dr. John Ennis with invited speakers: Frank Rossi of Kraft Foods, Bert Borggreve of H.J. Heinz, and Pieter Punter of OP&P Product Research.

  Offered by: The Institute for Perception
  Target audience: Intermediate
  Cost: €750; 50% discount applied to each additional registrant from the same company, Academic discount available.  A discount of €50 will be offered for members of the Sensometric Society before additional discounts are applied.
