Welcome to the ISOCS website.
About ISOCS
ISOCS was launched by GOSPEL, the EU Network of Excellence in artificial olfaction, in May 2008. It is a multidisciplinary community of leading academics and industry. ISOCS advances the research and application of olfaction and chemical sensing by:
Facilitating the Use of Chemical Sensing
ISOCS helps translate cutting-edge research into real-world solutions. We support the smooth transition from development to commercialization, improving the success rate of new sensing systems. With broad expertise, the society guides industry and academia in identifying opportunities for olfaction and chemical sensing across multiple sectors.
Improving Skills for Researchers
We equip the next generation of scientists with the tools to thrive in this interdisciplinary field. Through training courses, workshops, and mentoring from acknowledged experts, ISOCS broadens scientific expertise and deepens understanding of technology applications.
Promoting Interdisciplinary Exchanges
Collaboration is at the heart of ISOCS. We foster the exchange of ideas and knowledge within the chemical sensing community, organizing events that connect members across disciplines and perspectives. This systems approach strengthens innovation in chemical sensing technology.
Consolidating Diverse Expertise
ISOCS acts as a reference point and unifying voice for the olfaction and chemical sensing community. We provide authoritative insights for researchers, funding bodies, and policy makers, ensuring that advances in the field have the visibility and impact they deserve.
