On the behalf of the Italian Society of Sensory Science and all members of the Organising Committee, it is our pleasure to welcome scientists from all over the world to the 8th Pangborn Sensory Science Symposium. This meeting, to honour the work and contribution of Rose Marie Pangborn to the field of sensory science, continues the tradition based on the previous seven symposia and encourages young sensory scientists to present their research on a global platform.

The Florence symposium will be an opportunity for:

• The presentation of new knowledge regarding fundamentals of sensory perception
• The integration of different scientific backgrounds, knowledge and experiences in consumer research
• The presentation of new challenges in the effective use of sensory evaluation
• The presentation of possible future trends in sensory and  consumer science
• Networking among all attendees aimed at stimulating new contacts
• Exploring Florence and Tuscany

The Pangborn meeting has continued to grow and is recognized as the most important scientific symposium for the disciplines of sensory and consumer science. The main task of the organising team is to ensure for delegates a high quality scientific programme. The opening reception, plenary and concurrent sessions as well as poster presentations will be planned to deliver an exciting scientific programme representing the best of sensory research today.  The symposium will also be an occasion to visit with old friends and meet new colleagues in an almost unique framework.

Florence, in fact, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, famous for its Renaissance masterpieces. A remarkably well-preserved small city, all its great monuments and most famous museums are concentrated in a small area, within easy walking distance of one other. The 8th Pangborn Sensory Science Symposium will be held at Stazione Leopolda, a huge and impressive structure, and the only one of its kind in Italy that hosts events related to contemporary culture and creativity. Built in 1848 it is a piece of industrial architecture recently opened to the public.

We are confident that Florence will provide a unique experience for this scientific community.

Mario Bertuccioli and Erminio Monteleone
Chairs of the Organising Committee
