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 conference will cover a wide range of topics, with special focus on Challenges in odour dispersion modelling in practice, including but not limited to:

  • Olfactometric odour emission measurements
  • Odour immission measurements, grid measurements, and odour plume surveys (static/dynamic)
  • Odour forecasting models and their application
  • Legal aspects of odour immission assessment
  • Recent advances in standardisation (VDI, DIN, EN)
  • Practical case studies and comparisons of methods
  • Practical applications such as odour treatment technologies

   Whether you are involved in measuring, forecasting, or mitigating odour emissions, the VDI Conference offers a unique platform for sharing knowledge, discussing best practices, and exploring new approaches.

    The Call for Papers will open in early 2027. Submit your paper and contribute to this important event. The early bird registration will be until the end of this year 2026.
