Topics


Characterization of the genetic and metabolite diversity of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP) for their cultivation and further utilization


Medicinal and aromatic plants by-products - extraction, composition and biological activities


Obtaining and chemical characterization of biologically active natural and synthetic compounds


Biological activity of natural and synthetic compounds


Formulation, characterization and quality control of MAP-based products


Polymer-based formulations of medicinal and aromatic plants


Polymer-based formulations of medicinal and aromatic plants
The focus of this section is on polymeric (nano)materials such as membranes, hydrogels, nanoparticles, micelles etc. designed for carriers of bioactive substances. The topics cover synthesis and characterization of polymers, investigation of processing‐structure‐properties relationships, as well as strategies for loading of extracts of medicinal and aromatic plant.

Plenary speaker: Prof. Vladimir Dimitrov, DSc, Head of the Center of Competence
