Research Initiatives

01

Plant Screening Programme (with AFLS)

Together with the “Alpine Foundation for Life Sciences – AFLS”, the FPTH has set itself the task to elaborate and offer a networked programme for the screening of indigenous plants — primarily of the southern alpine regions — their production, and education and training in phytopharmacology and phytotherapy at national and international level.

02

Scientific Research of Medicinal Plants

The emphasis is on the scientific research of medicinal plants, taking into account the holistic and empirical knowledge and the centuries-old knowledge.

03

National & International Cooperation

A cooperation with qualified societies of natural science, holistic, integrative, complementary and alternative medicine and a national and international cooperation of specialists and institutions is aimed at. The FPTH is at the disposal of other research institutes and their specialized publications at any time. It represents and stands for a qualified, collegial and respectful cooperation.

We are looking forward to your cooperation.
