74th International Congress and Annual Meeting of the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research (GA)

The 74th International Congress and Annual Meeting of the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research (GA) will take place from August 30 to September 2, 2026, at the Congress Centre, Reims, France.

In our field, GA is the largest scientific society in Europe. Every year, more than 500 participants from academia and industry around the world gather to exchange innovative ideas and cutting-edge research in medicinal plants and natural products, with applications ranging from terrestrial to marine sources. This congress is therefore one of the most significant global events in the areas of natural products research, medicinal plants and phytotherapy, food and natural products, metabolomics, cosmetics, as well as natural product analysis and formulation.

For more details, please visit the congress website.

The main scientific topics will include (subject to updates):

  • Circular bioeconomy: towards exploitation of natural (co)products for the production of high-added-value molecules
  • Bio and chemodiversity in natural products (marine organisms, tropical forests, etc.)
  • Advanced analytical methods and chemo&bioinformatics for efficient natural product discovery
  • Global warming impact on natural substance area
  • Biotechnology and bio-inspired chemistry and ecological innovations
  • Herbal medicinal products and quality controls
  • Plant host-microbe interaction research
  • Process to obtain natural products
  • Functional food/nutraceutical research
  • Chemical ecology
  • Biological activity of natural products: drug discovery (in vitro, in silico, in vivo)

In case you give a lecture to researchers in the field of medicinal plant and natural product research, we would be very grateful if you could promote the Reims Congress. You can download a single ppt slide which you can add to your presentation here (ppt file).
