Dear friends,

It's been a busy quarter for the Odeuropa team: in the last few months, we have explored and documented many smell stories in European history and heritage, and we have been working on online environments to make the data accessible. We have also held a conference on the scents of the past, toured Amsterdam following our noses, led a hackathon on sensory mining and published the first peer-reviewed scent!

Here are some highlights that might interest you:

PastScent Conference in Amsterdam

Dear friends,

We are delighted to come back to you once again with our latest news. It’s been a busy year so far and we have many updates to share! We have taken part in international events, launched a a multisensory museum tour, won an award, published the first research outputs, and hosted the BBC Travel show in Amsterdam. Plus, our work in fostering interdisciplinary conversation on approaches and methods in smell history has been included in an experimental space of the American Historical Association. Here's an overview of the contents:

Visiting a historic spicery with BBC Travel Show

Dear friends,

We're happy to get in touch with our latest news.

It's been busy lately at Odeuropa HQ - we completed several technical tasks so we now have a first version of our text benchmark dataset and an almost first version of our image benchmark. We are also on schedule to deliver our second project milestone on time at the end of this month: the first version of the European Olfactory Knowledge Graph.

Dear friends,

We hope you have enjoyed the summer so far and are immersing yourself in sensory discovery, wherever you are.

The Odeuropa team recently visited the Maurithuis exhibition Fleeting Scents in Colour, where you can experience olfactory interpretations of 17th century Dutch art.
