On behalf of the Franco–Brazilian Network on Natural Products (FB2NP), La Rochelle Université and Paris Cité Université, the organizing and scientific committees are delighted to announce the 6th France–Brazil Congress on Natural Products, which will take place from June 8th to 11th, 2026, on the beautiful Île de Ré, France.
This international event will bring together around 100 participants, including leading scientists, emerging researchers, and students from France, Brazil, and other countries. It will provide a unique opportunity to strengthen the long-standing scientific cooperation between the two nations and to promote new interdisciplinary collaborations in the field of natural products chemistry and biotechnology applied to health, cosmetics, environment, and sustainable development.
The congress will feature keynote lectures and young researchers oral communications, offering a comprehensive scientific program highlighting the latest advances in natural product research. Social activities and networking sessions will complement the scientific exchanges, creating a friendly and collaborative atmosphere in the exceptional setting of the Atlantic coast.
During four days, participants will share ideas and discuss innovative scientific topics related to the following research areas:

Discovery, purification, and structural elucidation of natural products
Green synthesis and biotransformation of bioactive compounds
Pharmacological and toxicological evaluation of natural products
Metabolomics, genomics, and systems biology approaches
Marine and terrestrial biodiversity valorization
Plant and microbial biotechnology for sustainable production
Eco-responsible extraction and formulation processes
Natural products for antimicrobial, anticancer, and dermocosmetic applications
Chemotaxonomy and phylogenetic approaches
Bioinspired materials and biomolecules
The 6th France–Brazil Congress on Natural Products (FB2NP 2026) aims to foster excellence in research, education, and innovation through cross-cultural scientific exchange and shared commitment to biodiversity-based solutions for global challenges.
The congress is supported by the French Society of Pharmacognosy (Société Française de Pharmacognosie) and the Brazilian Society of Pharmacognosy (Sociedade Brasileira de Farmacognosia). A special issue of the Brazilian Journal of Pharmacognosy (Revista Brasileira de Farmacognosia) will be dedicated to publishing the proceedings of the congress.
We look forward to welcoming you to Île de Ré in June 2026 for an inspiring and memorable scientific meeting!
