CyNexo products
ECRO is coming back to the Netherlands after more than 30 years! The first meeting was held in 1970 and was partly hosted by Professor E.P. Köster, who passed away in August 2022. The chemosensory community in the Netherlands is now diverse and active in areas such as human flavor perception, insect pheromones, and neuroscience. The theme for ECRO 2023 is 'Diverse flavors', aiming to prioritize diversity in topics, speakers, attendance, and social program. Join them in Nijmegen in September!
