Conference History
The "Olfaction & Electronic Nose Symposium" was launched by the Alpha M.O.S. company, one of the first in commercializing E-Nose technology and developing further the scientific and technological exchange around this emerging technology.
The first symposium was held in 1994 in Toulouse (France). The reasons for the creation of this symposium were to strengthen information exchange by with the objective to present high-quality research, promote interactions of professionals for the advancement of odour characterisation, and analyse complex product variation.
With a growing number of participants at the 1994 and 1995 meetings held in Europe, and based on the international attendance of the symposium, it was decided in 1996 to organize the symposium in Miami, USA. Since then, due to the success of the symposium on both continents, the location was alternated from Europe in Nice in 1997 to Baltimore in the USA in 1998.
In 1999, for the first time, the symposium organisation included a scientific committee to manage the assessment of papers submitted and organize keynote addresses on various technological advances in the area of sensor array instruments.
Since 2007, the ISOEN conferences have been managed by the International Society for Olfaction & Chemical Sensing (ISOCS) and have been held every two years, alternating between Europe, America and Asia. The last location, in 2017, was Montreal, Canada.
Conference Awards History
Since 1999 the best presentation at ISOEN has been recognized with the Wolfgang Göpel Memorial Award. This award is sponsored by the Göpel family and the Institute of Physical Chemistry (University of Tübingen).
Since 2009, the best industrial presentation on Electronic Nose or Electronic Tongue applications has also been recognized with the Alpha-MOS award.
