“The International Mediterranean Symposium on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MESMAP) is an internation scientific meeting on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants. Having a respected scientific board and organizing committee members from all over the world, the MESMAP Symposium series started in 2013. Ten series of the meeting have been successfully organized with thousands of participants from more than one hundred different countries in Türkiye and TRNC up to now. 

Although the main topic of the symposium is all aspects of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs), Herbs and Spices, Non-wood Forest Products (NWFPs); Aromatherapy, Phytotherapy, Phytochemistry, Pharmacognosy, Phytopharmacology and Toxicology are also within the scope of this globally recognized high quality scientific event. While the former series of MESMAP were organized in Türkiye, the international organizing committee decided to organize the meeting in another country in 2025. Thus, “The 11th International Mediterranean Symposium on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MESMAP-11)” will be hosted by MACFRUT-2025 & Spices and Herbs Global Expo during May 6-8, 2025 in Rimini, Italy. The scientific sessions will take place in Rimini - Expo Centre Meeting Halls. MESMAP-11 will be organized with the participation of around one hundred scientists presenting their oral and poster presentations from 24 different countries such as Türkiye, Italy, Thailand, China, Poland, Croatia, TRNC, India, Pakistan, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, UK, Germany, Hungary, Portugal, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Albania, Slovakia, Ukraine, Slovenia, Bulgaria. The theme of MESMAP-11 Symposium this year is "The Science behind the Healthy Flavor and Taste", and sixteen invited speakers will share their experience and up to date scientific studies with participants, NPOs and industrial bodies. MESMAP-11 will be organized in collaboration with many international universities, NGOs and sponsors. The international and local organizing committees would like to thank all stakeholders for their valuable support.   

MESMAP PROCEEDINGS BOOK (ABSTACRT & FULL PAPERS) WITH ISBN are OPEN ACCESS, double-blinded peer-reviewed and refereed international proceedings book which is published by MESMAP scientific group collaboration with respected universities around the world. The main objective of the MESMAP is to provide an intellectual outlook on the scientific researches on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants. MESMAP have distinguished goals to promote interdisciplinary scientific studies in which results could easily be used in industrial production on MAPs.

MESMAP Symposiums are organized Annually

The publication language of the proceedings books is in English.
