ASOMPS is the abbreviation for Asian Symposium on Medicinal Plants, Spices and Other Natural Products, which is a series of scientific conferences held in Asia at different locations. The original title was Asian Symposium on Medicinal Plants and Spices and was modified as Asian Symposium on Medicinal Plants, Spices and Other Natural Products from the 7th meeting in 1992 in Manila, Philippines. The acronym ASOMPS was first introduced in the 4th symposium in 1980 in Bangkok, Thailand. ==Background== The First Asian Symposium on Medicinal Plants and Species (ASOMPS I) was held in Peshawar, Pakistan in 1960 with the aim of strengthening regional research potential and improving infrastructures in the Asian region. ASOMPS promotes collaboration and co-operation between Asian scientists in the fields of chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacy, biochemistry, botany, and biotechnology and their research on natural products. Similar to the ''Botany 2000'' program, later on, all ASOMPS meetings were organized under the auspices of UNESCO, as a basic science program, to contribute to the strengthening of substantial financial assistance obtained from UNESCO head office through the country participation of the respective host countries. ASOMPS have also been regularly supported by ''International Foundation for Science'' (IFS) and the ''Regional Network for the Chemistry of Natural Products in Southeast Asia'' (RNCNPSA). Government of the respective host countries made generous contributions to the ASOMPS meetings. ''National Organizing Committee'' (NOC) of the respective host countries raised funds from different local and international organizations through donations, advertisements and exhibitions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Asian Symposium on Medicinal Plants, Spices and Other Natural Products」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
