The Austrian Summit on Natural Products is based on an initiative of the Austrian Drug Screening Institute (ADSI), a research institute of the University of Innsbruck aiming at promoting phytosciences in the Alpine regions. The conference will cover the topics of

• Phytopharmacy,
• Phytocosmetics and • Phytonutrition

with the aim to bring young scientists together with leading experts in the field of phytosciences.

The Austrian Summit on Natural Products aims to improve the efficiency of phyto- logical analysis and development in these fields by providing a unique platform to discuss ways for setting-up new quality standards for research, development and pro- duction of phyto-related products. Moreover, contributions including the research & development of new innovative phytoproducts addressing the customer needs are particularly welcome.
