Educating the next generation of sensory scientists
The sensory laboratory at the SGGW (Warsaw Agriculture University), in Warsaw, Poland, is a section of the Department of Human Nutrition and Consumer Sciences. The new facilities are fully equipped with the latest sensory and consumer research tools.
The main task of SGGW Sensory Laboratory is student education. The staff conducts basic, medium, and advanced level courses in sensory analysis; the courses are comprised of lectures, laboratory exercises and seminars. An M.S. degree in sensory/consumer research is available. Parallel with its teaching responsibilities, the laboratory staff takes part in both in-house research projects and projects in co-operation with other organisations.
Research and consultancy
In co-operation with the food industry, the laboratory is involved with contract research as well as sensory training courses tailored for the specific needs of companies starting their own sensory assessments. SGGW also provides consultancy services for laboratory design and organisation.
