The 12th VDI Conference, “Odours in the Environment,” will take place on November 24 and 25, 2027, in Hamburg, Germany, and promises to be a key gathering for odour management professionals from the German-speaking world.

   The previous edition in Salzburg was hailed as a resounding success. Next year’s special theme will focus on “Odour Dispersion Modelling and the Practical Challenges in Real-World Applications.” Suppose you are an expert in odour emissions, ambient air measurements, or odour forecasting, and you know a bit of German. In that case, this is your opportunity to share your insights and engage in discussions with other professionals in the field.

   The recipients of the 24h-MOM travel award share their experiences at NOSE26, an event that enabled them to present their work, compare scientific and technical approaches, and strengthen their links with the international odour and VOC community.

   The tenth edition of the International Conference on Environmental Monitoring of Odours and VOCs, NOSE26, brought together researchers, consultants, regulators and industry professionals in Bologna to address the main challenges associated with odour emissions and volatile organic compounds. For the 24h-MOM travel award winners, the experience was particularly valuable, both because it gave them the opportunity to present their own work and because of the direct exchange with other specialists in the field.
