Sensometrics is the scientific area that applies mathematical and statistical methods to problems from sensory and consumer science.
 

The main aim of the Sensometrics conference is to

• increase the awareness of the fact that the field of sensory and consumer science needs its own special methodology and statistical methods,
• improve the communication and co-operation between persons interested in the scientific principles, methods and applications of sensometrics,
• act as the interdisciplinary meeting to disseminate scientific knowledge on the field of sensometrics.

The first five Sensometrics meetings were held in
 

• Leiden, The Netherlands, July 1992
• Edinburgh, United Kingdom, September 1994
• Nantes, France, June 1996
• Copenhagen, Denmark, August 1998
