Improved Health and Agriculture through Sustainable Exploration of Biodiversity for Drug Discovery and Bio-energy
NAPRECA international symposia are held every two years in a NAPRECA member country which has been so designated by NAPRECA Co-ordinating Board. The symposia have turned to be important fora for the dissemination of results from natural products research, not only within NAPRECA countries, but also globally. This has stimulated international collaboration amongst African scientists, especially the up-coming generation of scientists and between African scientists and their colleagues in the developed countries. During the 15th NAPRECA symposium held in Khartoum Sudan in 2013, the NAPRECA Co-ordinating Board gave NAPRECA - Tanzania the responsibility of hosting the 16th NAPRECA Symposium on Natural Products and their Applications. The symposium will be held from the 31st August – 3rd September 2015 in Arusha. NAPRECA-Tanzania has previously successfully hosted two such symposia. The first was the 3rd NAPRECA symposiun in May 1989 in Arusha and the second was the 7th NAPRECA symposium in August, 1997 in Dar es Salaam. The 16th NAPRECA symposium will focus on the dissemination of results on research of natural products from African and the the world biogenetic resources, in the development of pharmaceuticals and agriculturals through chemistry, botany, pharmacology, ecology, nanotechnology and other sciences.
The symposium will be preceded by a Pre-symposium Workshop aimed at training young scientists especially students on the new emerging techniques in natural products research. The work shop will be held from the 24th - 29th August 2015 at the Nelson Mandela-African Institute of Science and Technology in Arusha.
