GOSPEL Associates Showcase & Workshop

Tübingen, 5 June 2007

 

Scope and programme

Artificial olfaction is the science of complex gas sensing. It addresses both odourant and non-odourant gases and has applications in healthcare, security and environment and industrial processes. It is based on technologies such as micro- and nano-systems and multi-dimensional data processing. Research into biological systems is also key to inspiring new designs for technology. The focus of the workshop is on recent developments and opportunities for new collaborations:
