At the Northwest Chocolate Makers Unconference in 2016, a session focused on identifying some of the ways that academics and chocolate makers might work together. In this presentation we show the results of the first survey of North American fine/craft chocolate makers, which focused on the research needs of the community. We show the research needs that North American fine/craft chocolate makers consider the most important, and propose a way forward to create research collaborations between interested makers and academics.
