GA Synergy Award

Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research

The synergistic effects involved in the action of natural products are key for their medicinal use. Research on these actions has been revolutionized in the past decades by methods quantifying synergy and by genomics techniques. The GA synergy award is aiming to create awareness for research on these effects, by awarding excellent research in the field.

The award, at present connected to a price sum of 1000 €, will be handed over within the frame of the annual GA congress, as the other GA awards, with a short lecture on the work.

Your submission (including publications or graduation theses, a letter explaining the relevance for the field, and a CV) is welcome. Please send it by email to Cornelia Kern (events@ga-online.org).

The jury consists of experts in the field and the president and the vice presidents of GA. The jury may invite further subject matter experts for the evaluation of the submissions. Each jury member independently will rate each work according to the three categories scientific excellence, relevance for the field and quality of the methodology and presentation. Based on this, the winner will be chosen in the frame of an online meeting of the jury.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

Projects and presentations that tend to be recognised by the Society share the following:

✔ High scientific merit & rigor

Strong experimental design, properly validated assays, and robust data support higher acceptance and recognition.

✔ Relevance to natural products discovery and application

Research should clearly connect plant metabolites or extracts with pharmacological activity or therapeutic potential.

✔ Clear communication

Well-written abstracts and presentations make the scientific question, methods, results, and implications easy to assess.

✔ Networking & Society engagement

Active participation in GA activities, workshops, and multi-year involvement increases visibility among peers and award committees.

🛠 Practical Tips for Applicants

✔ Become a member — membership often enables eligibility for travel grants and awards and provides networking platforms.
✔ Target conference deadlines early — abstract deadlines precede the annual GA congress by several months.
✔ Align with thematic sessions — tailor your submission to the scientific themes of the upcoming GA congress (e.g., phytochemistry, ethnopharmacology).
✔ Highlight innovation & impact — frame how your work advances knowledge or application in natural product research.
