XVI International Symposium on Olfaction and Taste - ecro

Welcome
Welcome to Stockholm and ISOT <strong>XVI</strong>
We celebrate 50 years of cutting edge research in taste and olfaction by returning to the birthplace
of ISOT. ECRO welcomes you to some days of intense exchange of information via talks,
posters and discussions. ISOT offers a unique opportunity for all of us active in different areas of
chemosensory science to meet up and tell about what has happened in the labs and in the field the
last four years. ISOT is a meeting place not only for the host organization ECRO, but also its sister
organizations: the Japanese Association for the Study of Taste and Smell (JASTS) and the Association
for Chemoreception Sciences (AChemS). We also welcome our friends from the Australasian
Association for Chemosensory Science (AACSS). Thanks to the support from ECRO and its sister
organisations over the world, to a number of sponsors and to the work by the session organizers we
have gathered an outstanding collection of chemosensory scientists.
The program of ISOT <strong>XVI</strong> spans over all areas of chemosensation.
We have made an effort to bring in the flavors of ecology and ethology, but also a feeling for the
stimulus (i.e. some chemistry) into the program. We hope that you will enjoy the complete bouquet!
