1st World Congress ofDigital Olfaction Society 2013
April 11-12, 2013 - Ritz Carlton Berlin, Germany…The idea is to create devices which can capture odors,
turn them into digital data so as to transmit them everywhere in the world …

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
For several years, researchers and industrialists were interested in sensorial effects of their breakthroughs andproducts on the human-being. New markets were created, in the field of touch, hearing, taste and vision, withmore innovative products. But how about the sense of smell and its digitization? Digital Olfaction Society
convention 2013 aims to open up toward a subject with large scientific and industrial potential, called the olfaction
digital science.

Why organizing a conference on Digital Olfaction?
Olfaction, a topic of interest in several scientific fields, has gradually become a topic of the future. Following thelatest advances in the Research related to olfaction, the challenge is to transfer this knowledge towards
innovative technology.
Nowadays, there is no way to escape the digital world whatsoever when using a computer, a mobile phone oreven means of transportation. Hearing, vision, touch are currently an integral part of numerous electronic devices
which we use on a daily basis. Then, how about digitizing smells? This complex concept aims at turning any
odorous source into a digital media which can be applied to our lifestyle.
In order to bring together all scientific data related to digital olfaction, we decided to create an internationalorganization, the Digital Olfaction Society (DOS).
Our desire is to promote this innovative concept whose aim is to turn any odorous source into digital media
applicable to our lifestyle. As a matter of fact, the idea is to create devices which not only
can record smells, turn them into digital data but also transmit them where we like.
In a few words, the objective of DOS is to gather, share, and complete the knowledge recently established
about olfactory digitization. Our perspective is to build up constructive links between leading researchers andindustrialists in order to set up appropriate strategies in order to implement Research & Development throughpractical applications with a high impact on our lifestyle thanks to the potential of olfactory digitization. We want tomove from the Stone Age of odorous substance toward a New Age by means of digital fragrance, aroma andsmell technologies.
The aim of the first Digital Olfaction Society World Congress 2013 is to discuss:The advances of digital olfaction Research & Development
The practical applications of digital olfaction
The impact of these applications on our life and lifestyle

Digital Olfaction Society World Congress 2013 will highlight:

The interdisciplinary sciences related to Olfaction and Digital olfaction.
The way in which we can transfer the concrete breakthroughs of Research & Development towards
industrial applications concerned by digital olfaction.
How to design and extend the applications of digital smell technologies to everyday life.
