The joint phase III meeting of WP1 and WP2 was held in Braga, Portugal on 3rd – 4th December 2010, which was hosted by Prof. Alberto Dias (UMINHO, Portugal) and brought together nine GP-TCM members from Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. The meeting started with a welcome dinner on the 2nd of December, and continued with focused discussions on how to organise the data collection for forthcoming deliverables within the involved work packages. As a result, a form was drafted based on the insights of previous deliverables of WP1 and WP2. A lecture was given by Prof. Rob Verpoorte (LU, the Netherlands) about the application of metabolomic technologies in the field of traditional medicines. In addition, the group discussed number of modern analytical methods used for characterising TCMs and some metabolomic techniques used for TCM research.
