A world-class scientific reference event in Southern Europe, promoted by the Association of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the Mediterranean (Amapmed), 31 members of the International Organizing Committee of the Symposium have decided to organize the event for the first time in a country other than Turkey, the historic venue of the event for all ten previous editions.

“The theme of this edition of the Mesmap-11 Symposium,” explains Professor Nazim Şekeroğlu , Chairman of the Amapmed Scientific Committee, “will be “The Science Behind Taste and Healthy Flavor.” The sixteen invited speakers will be able to share their experience and the most recent scientific studies with the audience of participants, non-profit organizations and industrial organizations. What makes Mesmap-11 a highly prestigious gathering is precisely the fact that it is organized in collaboration with numerous international universities and NGOs, united by the aim of networking non-governmental organizations of different professional groups related to Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, in order to create a common platform and not lose the wealth of knowledge and research of a constantly evolving sector.”
