The Conference

V ECMNP will continue in the mainstream of the previous meetings having been held in Athens, Santiago de Compostela, Munich and Paris.
The Conference activities will embrace different aspects of the research on Marine Natural Products, offering opportunities to share multidisciplinary information among chemists, marine and molecular biologists, biochemists, ecologists, pharmacologists and those in related areas. Given the enormous economic importance of the marine habitats, the main aim of the V ECMNP is to encourage research on the basic and applied aspects of MNP studies, including the role in marine ecosystem functioning, the development of research tools devoted to defense and conservation of marine environments and the application for pharmaceutical and cosmaceutical industry as well as marine aquaculture.

Plenary and invited lectures will be held by leading figures in order to have cutting edge contributions in the different scientific areas and meet the interest from colleagues from all over the world. V ECMNP is especially designed for young researchers and the Poster sessions will be highlighted with a number of contributions that will be selected for short oral presentations.
