BCSV Workshops have always been low-cost, informal events, yet have provided an excellent talking shop for exchange of ideas, experiences, expertise and also for fostering new collaborative enterprises. They have been very successful in bringing together scientists from a wide range of disciplines and industry. The perfumery and flavour businesses have always been represented, and industrial input has included presentations from manufacturers of electronic odour-recognition devices. Reflecting this, representatives from chemical sensor research are also numbered among the academic delegates and presenters.
Speakers come from universities, industry, and the teaching profession, and the event provides a platform for up-and-coming scientists. These are usually postgraduates, but on one occasion a group of Year10 students did some valuable work on feral cat behaviour in response to a type of catnip extract, and the presentation was ably given by one of the pupils.
Delegates' interests have included Animal Behaviour and Conservation, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Anatomy, Psychology, Materials Chemistry, Electronic engineering, Computing (esp. artificial neural networks) and even Linguistics...
