Why sponsoring 37 Irsee Natural Product Symposium?

The high quality of the programme, reduced participation fees for young researchers as well as the Doctoral and Young scientist awards for natural product research, have allways been possible due to the generous support of industrial companies.

We would therefore be very grateful if your company would consider sponsoring the Irsee Natural Porduct Symposium and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

In return, we offer you the following benefits:

• Acknowledgment as a sponsor, including your logo, and a link to your website on the event webpage.

DECHEMA-Fachgruppe Niedermolekulare Naturstoffe mit biologischer Aktivität

The Irsee Natural Product Symposium is organised by the DECHEMA Working Group "Small Molecule Natural Products with Biological Activity":

Information on the DECHEMA Working Group: 

Advances in pharmaceutical therapeutics and environmentally friendly plant protection are difficult to imagine without the development of active compounds based on natural products. Low-molecular-weight natural products exhibit structural diversity far beyond what can be achieved through chemical synthesis. However, only a small portion of this "pool" of natural substances has been explored for practical applications. A key objective of the division's work is to identify new research trends and provide policy-level recommendations for funding, as well as to initiate relevant research initiatives. Another important goal is to support young scientists, particularly by integrating them into the dialogue between academia and industry. In an interdisciplinary environment involving biologists, chemists, medical professionals, and pharmacists, the interaction between scientists from both industry and academia is promoted, fostering the creation of collaborative and cross-disciplinary projects.

The division's most prominent and publicly visible activity is the annual "Irseer Naturstofftage," held every February for over 30 years. During this event, the Doctoral and Young Scientist Awards for Natural Product Research are also presented.

The 38th Irsee Natural Product Symposium will take place in the period: 24.-27.02.2026
