Dear colleagues and friends,

On behalf of the Hellenic Society of Ethnopharmacology, I have the pleasure to announce and to invite you to the 2nd Panhellenic Congress of Ethnopharmacology, under the title “From the Vikos traditional healers (Vikoyiatroi) to modern phytotherapy” which will be held at Hotel du Lac, 1-3 March 2024.

The Hellenic Society of Ethnopharmacology boasts a rich legacy of studying and documenting traditional treatment methods and practices, while researching and building knowledge derived from the latest scientific developments.

Perpetuating our commitment to our legacy, we now look forward to a fruitful three-day Congress of oral presentations and written announcements, including round tables on the most topical issues of interest to researchers from a variety of disciplines related to ethnopharmacology, to community pharmacists, and to all those involved in sectors directly or indirectly related to health and healthcare.

Last but not least, in the context of networking with the international research community, and in our effort to revive traditional treatment methods in the countries of South Europe, we invite you to meet our guest speakers from all over the Balkans.

See you all in Ioannina!

Nadina Merkouri
Pharmacist
President of the Hellenic Society of Ethnopharmacology
