Upcoming congress:
The 23rd International Congress of The International Society for Ethnopharmacology & the 2nd International Congress of the African Phytomedicine Scientific Society (ISE-APSS2024) is proudly hosted by the University of Pretoria from 23 – 26 October 2024, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, Cape Town, South Africa.
The theme of the congress is “The footprint of ethnopharmacology in drug discovery”. The Congress will focus on trending topics and issues faced through the scientific study of traditional knowledge systems and the ethnopharmacology of medicinal plants.
The aim of the congress will be to build collaborative and networking opportunities between national and international institutions and showcase the academic merit of research being conducted on the African continent, with the objective to establish multidisciplinary collaborations within the field of ethnopharmacology and to potentially provide access to important infrastructure that may not be available at African institutions. This would aid in improving the quality and impact of the research conducted in Africa by ensuring new technologies are implemented and established to prove the safety and efficacy of medicinal plants and natural products. These collaborations can further contribute to the generation of new intellectual property, increase human capacity development in the STEM fields and provide a pathway for African researchers to contribute to the National Development Plan, Sustainable Development Goals and the African Union Agenda 2063.
On behalf of the local organizing committee, The International Society for Ethnopharmacology and The African Phytomedicine Scientific Society, it is our pleasure to invite you to participate in this in-person congress.
