Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am honored to invite you joining us at the 2nd International Conference on Natural Products Utilization: from Plant to Pharmacy Shelf (ICNPU 2015). The meeting will start on morning of the 14th October and will end up with a conference excursion on 17th October.
 
ICNPU 2015 will attempt to cover the wide spectrum of application of plants with special emphasis on the sustainable use of natural products, emerging ‘-omics’ analytical platforms and recent developments in (ethno)pharmacology, molecular biology and biotechnology. ICNPU 2015 will feature plenary sessions, oral presentations and poster sessions. World-renowned experts will share the latest developments in the field.
 
The conference will be held in Plovdiv, the second largest city in Bulgaria. Plovdiv – the city of the seven hills – is a vibrant town, which history can be traced back as far as 4000 BC. In addition to the scientific program, rich social activities will be offered, including welcome reception, conference dinner, congress tour to historical monuments, besides the podium for informal meetings and discussions.
 
We look forward to hosting you in Plovdiv!
