Welcome to ECRO

The European Chemoreception Research Organization (ECRO) unites scientists exploring the science of smell and taste in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Each year, our scientific conference brings together cutting-edge research and fosters collaboration across disciplines. ECRO actively supports the next generation of researchers by offering travel grants for students and by funding scientific meetings in olfaction and taste. Join our community, share your discoveries, and shape the future of chemosensory science with us.

Obituaries: Goodbye to some of our chemosensory and ECRO friends.

Global Consortium for Chemosensory Research (GCCR): A growing number of reports show that significant numbers of patients with diagnosed COVID-19 developed smell and taste symptoms, often in the absence of other symptoms. To understand reports of chemosensory issues related to COVID-19, the Global Consortium for Chemosensory Research (GCCR) has been created.

Please follow this link to learn more about the GCCR initiative.

Outreach: ECRO has started a public information initiative to communicate knowledge regarding taste and smell to patients as well as industry. New links/connections will be initially shared on our Home page and will eventually move to the Tab Outreach. Send information to: contact@ecro.online
