Cooperation Center for Scientific Research Relative to Tobacco Congress
CORESTA (Centre de Coopération pour les Recherches Scientifiques Relatives au Tabac / Cooperation Centre for Scientific Research Relative to Tobacco) promotes and facilitates international cooperation and best practices in scientific research relative to tobacco and its derived products. Member organizations include companies, institutes, laboratories, and associations with research and development (R&D) activities related to tobacco or its derived products, whether in the plant field (agronomy, breeding, phytopathology) or in the fields of manufacturing, chemistry, metrology, or materials.
CORESTA Science-Techno Conference 2025
Under the theme “Progress in Tobacco Harm Reduction Science,” this year’s conference will explore research topic areas including: test methods for combustible and noncombustible products, emerging technologies in assessing noncombustible products, emerging fit-for-purpose biomarkers for the assessment of risk reduction potential of noncombustible products, characterizing use behavior of noncombustible products as actually used, and the use of real-world evidence.
CORESTA Agro-Phyto Conference 2025
The theme of this year’s conference is “From Field to Future: Advancing Tobacco Science Through Innovation and Environmental Stewardship”. Study groups will include topics on the role of agronomy on leaf production and composition, genetics and breeding, crop and environmental protection, Good Agricultural Practices, specialty and heritage tobaccos and derived products from Indonesia, innovations in product technology, and more.
