Two scholarship positions will be made available to the inaugural event in Europe, which takes place at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), from February 10-11, 2020. The Scholarship program is thanks to the generous support of BRITA®.

Sensory Summit is a two-day conference designed to educate, inform, and inspire the Specialty Coffee sensory professional. Centered around the Coffee Excellence Center at Zurich University of Applied Sciences, topics include incorporating techniques of sensory science into the coffee taster’s repertoire, the latest reports about ongoing coffee extraction and consumer research, using new tools to sharpen tasting acuity and repeatability, improving coffee quality and consistency using established sensory methods, and incorporating learnings from wine, beer, and food science into specialty coffee.

The BRITA® Scholarship is designed for those who can benefit from networking and education opportunities, but who lack the financial resources to attend this event on their own. The ideal candidate has one (1) year or more of experience in roasting, green buying, quality control, or any related roles that incorporate sensory analysis. The Brita Scholarship award will cover your ticket to Sensory Summit Europe, hotel accommodations (up to 3 nights), and a flight or train ticket to Zurich (up to €500).

All applications to be submitted by December 19 2019, with candidates informed of their Scholarship status via email by January 7, 2020.
