The 13th Conference on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of Southeast European Countries

The Organizing Committee of the 13th Conference on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of Southeast European Countries (CMAPSEEC) would like to inform all participants, authors, members of the Scientific Committee, partners, sponsors, exhibitors, and stakeholders that the conference has been rescheduled to 17–19 March 2027.

This decision was taken following consultations with the Scientific Committee, institutional partners, and representatives of the medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP) sector across Southeast Europe.

The decision reflects the Organizing Committee’s commitment to further strengthening the scientific programme and broadening participation from the regional and international research community. The additional preparation period will create greater opportunities to attract leading academicians, researchers, and young scientists, while expanding cooperation with universities, research institutions, scientific networks, and professional organizations. We believe that these additional months will contribute to a richer scientific programme, a more diverse exchange of ideas, and stronger regional and international collaboration.

At the same time, the Organizing Committee considered it important to respect the recommendations of its strategic stakeholders and industry partners. Late October coincides with one of the busiest periods for the medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP) sector, when harvesting, processing, trading, and export activities are at their peak. Holding the conference in March will enable broader participation of companies, producer organizations, and other key stakeholders, further strengthening the dialogue between science, industry, and policy.

The Organizing Committee is confident that the new dates will further enhance the scientific quality, regional representation, and overall impact of CMAPSEEC, while providing an even stronger platform for collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange across Southeast Europe.

The revised programme, updated deadlines, and further information will be published on the conference website in due course.

The Organizing Committee sincerely thanks all authors, participants, members of the Scientific Committee, partners, sponsors, exhibitors, and supporters for their understanding, continued trust, and valuable contribution to CMAPSEEC.

We look forward to welcoming you to Tirana on 17–19 March 2027.
