The Global Consortium on Chemosensory Research (GCCR) is hosting a webinar on World Taste and Smell Day. Dr. Parvaneh Parvin from Wageningen University Research in the Netherlands will present "Spice It Up with Tech: Technological Solutions to Enhance the Dining Experience" and Dr. Janina Seubert from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden will present "Modulators of Deviation Tolerance in Food Perception". We will also launch our "Global Clinical Database of Chemosensory Care Practitioners", which is a web application for finding clinicians with expertise on chemosensory disorders in areas of the world that are not usually supported by patient advocacy groups.
The webinar is on Thursday September 14th at 16:00 Australia time, 14:00 China time, 9:00 Istanbul time and 8:00 Central European Time.
Register for the webinar here.
If you cannot attend the live webinar we will release a recording to view later.
ABOUT OUR PARTNER
Vision
The Global Consortium on Chemosensory Research (GCCR) has been started with the aim of uniting chemosensory scientists worldwide to understand reports of the chemosensory issues related to COVID-19. More broadly, the GCCR aspires to define, coordinate, and disseminate global efforts to advance the scientific understanding and clinical practice related to the chemical senses.
Mission
The timely mission of the GCCR is to define and coordinate world-wide crowdsourced research to understand the reports of the chemosensory issues related to COVID-19.
Subsequently, the establishment of this consortium will foster the advancement of chemosensory science at large, allowing the possibility to test larger samples of participants cross-culturally, strengthening the reliability and validity of chemosensory science across many domains.
In accomplishing this mission, the GCCR’s primary roles are to work cooperatively with its members to:
Encourage and facilitate global collaboration in concert with local collaboration across countries, labs, scientists and clinicians interested in the chemical senses. Members can access the protocols and data deriving from the GCCR’s projects and adapt them to their local needs. Participation in this consortium does not preclude local efforts.
Encourage and facilitate the implementation of open science practices the GCCR projects will allow the members as well as the community at large to access protocols and data.
Encourage and facilitate the development and dissemination of new knowledge by authoring papers based on the core data collected by the GCCR as a group.
