Welcome on AGROSTAT 2008 web site

The 10th edition of the European Symposium on Statistical Methods for the Food Industry will take place at Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, from January 23 to January 25, 2008. These days offer an ideal opportunity to statisticians, engineers, and users of statistical methods in food industries to meet and exchange experiences around stimulating themes like sensometrics, chemometrics, risk analysis and process control.

This event is an initiative of the Agro-Industry group of the French Statistical Society. It is organized in 2008 by the Institute of Statistics of the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), with the collaboration of the Faculté d'ingénierie biologique, agronomique et environnementale of UCL, the Walloon Agricultural Research Centre and the Gembloux Agricultural University.

On January 22th, the day before the conference, a special afternoon of introduction to sensory analysis and sensometrics is proposed to members of industries and research laboratories (in french)
