Development & responsibility

IMSP is not an isolated course. It is the result of years of professional work.

The International Meat Sensory Program connects M.E.A.T. GmbH's educational work, Sensory-ID™'s digital infrastructure, international experience and a clear didactic approach.

Why this program was created.

IMSP began with the question of how professional meat competence can be developed beyond the meat sommelier qualification.

Teaching, international tastings, Buenos Aires and the Campeonato Mundial de Carnes repeatedly revealed the same point: knowledge about meat and the ability to assess it reproducibly are two distinct competencies.

Sensory-ID™ makes this second competence systematically trainable and documentable. IMSP connects the digital infrastructure with in-person training, live tastings, calibration, international comparison samples and modern higher education teaching methods.

Ronny Paulusch · professional development

Developed from the craft. Extended for international comparability.

For more than three decades, Ronny Paulusch has combined practical industry experience with vocational education, professional system development and international project work.

His starting point is butchery. This was followed by the Diplom-Fleischsommelier and Maestro Cortador Profesional qualifications, teaching and project work in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, Argentina, Spain and Finland, and higher education teaching development at Harvard University's Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning.

The professional book „Didaktik im Handwerk“, international tastings and judging, and the development of digital professional systems come together in IMSP. The common principle is that knowledge must become structured, verifiable and applicable in practice.

Sensory-ID™ · digital infrastructure

IMSP trains within the platform. It works in it.

Sensory-ID™ is the digital workspace for professional meat competence and the operating system of IMSP. Knowledge, tastings, calibration, personal references, analysis and learning progress remain connected in one environment.
