Natural Colorants from Plants October 2-5, 2023 | Edirne, Türkiye

Dear Researcher,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am honored to invite you to attend the 2nd International Edirne Red Symposium on “Natural Colorants from Plants” that will be held between October 2-5, 2023 and hosted by Trakya University, Edirne-Türkiye. It is a great chance for the academicians and the experts for discussing recent advancements, exchanging ideas and exploring new research opportunities on dye plants and their use.

The symposium will feature keynote speakers, oral presentations (face to face or online), and poster sessions covering a broad range of topics related to plant dyes. As a researcher in this field, your attendance would be invaluable, and I hope that you will be able to join us.

The preferable language of the symposium is English, but Turkish will also be acceptable. Presentations with the same language will be organized in separate virtual or normal sessions. However, please keep in mind that all the submitted abstracts and full papers must be in English only. Abstract submissions for your oral or poster presentations to share your research findings are welcome. After the completion of the symposium, the papers presented will be published as the symposium book. Our symposium is an international event and is suitable Turkish Higher Education Council (YÖK) criteria for Associated Professor.
