It is our great pleasure to announce that the 14th International Symposium on Ginseng will be held in Jeju, Korea, from October 26 to 29, 2026. This year’s theme, “Ginseng for Smart Wellness,” reflects the significant progress made in ginseng research, highlighting its outstanding nutraceutical benefits. The efficacies of ginseng are increasingly supported by both basic and clinical research, as evidenced by numerous studies published in PubMed/MEDLINE across diverse scientific fields.
The International Symposium on Ginseng will showcase the latest groundbreaking discoveries and advances in ginseng research, based on a substantial body of scientific evidence. It will also provide a unique opportunity for researchers from around the world to meet, network, and establish new scientific collaborations. We anticipate more than 300 presentations from over 20 countries worldwide.
We warmly welcome your oral or poster presentation, as well as your participation, in the diverse fields of ginseng research listed on our website (http://www.ginsengsymposium.org/). We are confident that your participation in the symposium will be a stimulating experience, providing you with new ideas and inspiration for your future research.

Topics of interest
Before you submit
- Read the full call for papers — page limits, template (IEEE, ACM, LNCS …) and whether review is double-blind.
- Deadlines are usually 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE) — convert to Bangladesh time (UTC+6) and aim to submit a day early.
- At least one author normally has to register and present; budget for the fee and, for in-person events, a visa appointment well before the conference.
- Look for student travel grants and volunteer programmes — most large conferences run both, with deadlines soon after notification.
