ESN publications


The main goal of ESN is to pursue innovative research projects. The projects are funded by ESN and conducted by our members. The ESN research chair and the ESN research manager coordinate the projects and support the publication process. Did you know that one of our earlier projects – in 1996 – investigated consumer preferences for coffee in different European countries?
