1st European Symposium on Phytochemicals in Medicine and Food

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are delighted to invite you to attend the 1^st European Symposium on Phytochemicals in Medicine and Food (1-EuSPMF) to be held in Belgrade, Serbia on September 7-9, 2022. 1-EuSPMF is organized by the International Association of Dietetic Nutrition and Safety (IADNS) and the Institute of Food Technology and Biochemistry of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Belgrade, and supported by the Serbian Chemical Society, and the Phytochemical Society of Europe (PSE).

1-EuSPMF aims to see into the recent progress in the area of phytochemicals and their implementation in medicine and food. The demand for high-quality food products that have beneficial effects on human health encourages researchers to intensively study natural products.  In the light of these principles, we welcome scientists in the various fields to present their latest research and provide an excellent platform for exchanging ideas, discussing challenges, and setting up new research collaborations. We hope that the first 1-EuSPMF conference will meet the expectations of the participants and that its organization will be even more successful in the coming years.
