Following the success of the previous edition held in Alghero, the conference returns with an even richer programme designed to strengthen the connection between scientific research and industry, creating valuable opportunities for collaboration between universities, companies and sensory science professionals.

Smart Sensory Solutions will once again take part in this important event both as a sponsor, a role we have proudly held for the past 10 years, and with a scientific presentation titled: An Agentic Panel Leader for Sensory and Consumer Research: from AI Assistance to Coordinated Decision Support. Our contribution will focus on the AI research activities we are currently developing, a topic that is certain to be of strong interest to the conference audience of experts.

A meeting point for research and industry

The conference will bring together researchers, companies, laboratories, universities and professionals from multiple sectors, including food & beverage, cosmetics, packaging and consumer goods.

The event represents a valuable opportunity for networking and scientific exchange, enriched by the participation of national and international experts and presentations focused on innovative technologies and advanced sensory methodologies.

The hybrid format will also allow participants to attend both onsite and online, encouraging broader participation and interaction among researchers and professionals worldwide.

Naples as the conference venue

Hosting the IX National SISS Conference in Naples adds strong cultural and symbolic value to the event. The Santi Marcellino e Festo complex, located in the historic city centre, will provide participants with a unique environment where tradition, innovation and cultural heritage come together.
