SAM’s Patricia Silva and Lise Dreyfuss returned from the European Sensory Network Spring Meeting in Helsinki inspired by two dynamic days of knowledge sharing.

The spring programme featured insightful keynote discussions alongside shared updates on key areas of current research - including

• Multisensory field observation
• The consumer impact of GLP‑1
• Sensory approaches to reducing sodium in school meals and
• Multivariate statistical analysis.

True to ESN tradition, rigorous scientific exchange was matched by memorable networking—connecting in a uniquely Nordic way through a Finnish sauna and rowing on Helsinki’s waters, each offering a distinct sensory perspective of the city.

Another fantastic meeting that strengthened connections and fuelled curiosity across the ESN community.
