DOS 2024: From Olfaction to Digital Olfaction
The 8th DOS World Congress 2024, which was held on December 5-6 in Tokyo, was a great success. Over 40 presentations and demonstrations on the latest olfaction and digital olfaction research were delivered to an audience of over 90 attendees representing 22 countries.
Photos from the Congress will be available soon. Check out some highlights on our LinkedIn page.
DOS 2024 Abstracts Book & VOD are available for clients who couldn’t attend the congress.
Benefit from both the Abstract Book and Recorded Sessions of DOS 2024 not to miss out on any 2024 digital olfaction research/innovation.
