Naples, Italy
Dear GA and SIF Members, Colleagues, Executives, and scientists involved in medicinal plant and natural product research,
We are proud to announce the 73rd International Congress and Annual Meeting of the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research (GA), jointly with the Italian Society of Phytochemistry (SIF), which will be hosted at the Royal Continental Hotel, Naples, Italy, from August 31st to September 3rd, 2025.
After exactly 20 years since the latest Italian GA Meeting (53rd Meeting, organized in Florence in 2005), the Society has again selected the Italian peninsula, in particular Naples, as the 2025 Annual Congress location, jointly with the SIF. Naples is one of the most beautiful and typical marine Italian cities, rich of historical places, traditions, and ancient and modern arts, the perfect place to become inspired not only from a scientific point of view.
We believe that GA2025 will bring together renowned scientists from all over the world, and we would be grateful if you could actively attend to this exciting event.
This conference aims to expand current knowledge on all aspects of natural product research. The scientific program will include invited keynote lectures, short lectures, poster sessions, and pre-event workshops, covering the following main scientific topics:
- Ethnobiology, Ethnobotany, and Ethnopharmacology;
- Natural product chemistry and bioactivity (including terrestrial and marine sources);
- Analysis and authentication, quality control, and metabolomics;
- Bioengineering, bioinformatics, and chemoinformatics in natural product drug discovery;
- Biodiversity, circular bioeconomy, innovative green extraction procedures, and climate change;
- Herbal medicinal products, natural cosmetics, nutraceutics, and food supplements from conception to the market, alongside botanical safety assessments;
- Essential oils, specifically clinical and environmental uses;
- Cutting-edge technologies in natural product drug discovery, formulation, and development;
- Fungi as medicinal and functional foods, including both their potential and risks;
- Botanicals in veterinary medicine and feed.
We look forward to meeting you in Naples for an outstanding scientific meeting and an unforgettable stay.

Punta Arenas, Chile
The 21st edition of the International Conference on Harmful Algae (ICHA) will convene around 500 attendees from at least 50 countries, bringing together the world’s leading scientists and researchers addressing Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). HABs represent a pressing global issue marked by a rise in frequency, scope, and impact. The increase in these events is attributed to several factors, such as nutrients increments in the water column due to human activities, ballast waters, advancements in science and technology geared towards studying these events, and extreme oceanographic climate fluctuations, such as El Niño and La Niña, the Antarctic Oscillation, as well as the broader effects of climate change.
The conference will be held in Chile, specifically at the Dreams Hotel in the city of Punta Arenas, from October 19 to 24, 2025. We extend a warm welcome and invite all of you to join and participate in this most important Scientific Conference on Harmful Algae, which will take place at the Southern tip of South America in Punta Arenas, Chile, amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Chilean Patagonia.
