Groupe Polyphenols Statutes
History of Groupe Polyphénols
Groupe Polyphénols was founded in 1972 by Dr. Michel Bourzeix as an international scientific association. The founding meeting saw 100 members gathered in Narbonne, France. Here the objectives and Statutes were set up in the first general assembly. Since then, Groupe Polyphénols has grown in stature and every 2 years hosts an International Conference on polyphenols (ICP), originally called the Journées Internationales d’Etude sur les Polyphénols (JIEP). The proceedings, ‘Polyphenols Communications’, (originally known as ‘Bulletin de Liaison’) are published and are available for purchase.
