9. – 12. September 2025 Košice, Slovakia

The conference traces its origins to 1999, when its inaugural session, “Structure and Stability of Proteins,” was held as a small local meeting. Over the past two decades, it has grown into an international, multidisciplinary platform that brings together scientists from diverse fields. The program is designed to foster dynamic discussions among both junior and senior researchers, covering a broad spectrum of topics, including molecular biophysics, biochemistry, biology, and protein chemistry. Special focus will also be given to the current advancements, emerging developments, and future trends in bio- and nanotechnologies.

A reduced fee is offered for Ph.D. students to support the participation of young scientists. The young scientists are invited to participate in “The Young Scientist Award” competition for the best oral and poster presentation.

30. June – 4. July 2025 Rome, Italy

The Italian Society for Pure and Applied Biophysics (SIBPA) together with the European Biophysical Societies Association (EBSA) and the Protein Society, and with the support of IUPAB, is happy to announce the 15th EBSA Congress in Rome, Italy, from the 30th of June to the 4th of July 2025.

We are truly thrilled to bring this prestigious event back to Italy, particularly to Rome-a city that embodies the spirit of collaboration. In ancient times, Rome achieved its greatness by embracing inclusion. Emperor Claudius, in a famous speech to the Senate in 48 AD, highlighted that Rome’s strength lay not only in its power but in its ability to integrate and collaborate with the diverse peoples of the Empire.

It is a fortunate coincidence that 2025 marks the Catholic Jubilee year, promising a revitalized Rome filled with exceptional cultural events and entertainment opportunities. We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring congress in this extraordinary city.

26. – 30. august 2024 Split, Croatia

The Regional Biophysics Conference (RBC) was founded by the biophysical societies of Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia with the aim of presenting the latest developments in experimental, theoretical and applied biophysics. The high quality of the RBC and its long tradition attract leading experts in the field to share the latest research results and perspectives on recent breakthroughs in this dynamic, interdisciplinary field. The RBC places great emphasis on building and strengthening research collaborations and working with instrument manufacturers to present new methodological and technological discoveries to a large community of scientists and potential customers.

Special attention is paid to young researchers and students. To increase the interest of young researchers in RBC, this year a special session will be dedicated to the two-day 15th International Summer School of Biophysics. These events are jointly organized by Croatian Biophysical Society and University of Split School of Medicine.

31. júl – 4. august 2023 Štokholm, Švédsko

An EBSA congress in Sweden is timely. In 1986, the first EBSA Workshop was hosted by the Swedish Biophysical Society and Professor Anders Ehrenberg, the first president of EBSA. In 2023, after a series of great EBSA meetings around Europe, the Swedish Society for Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology (SFBBM) is again, jointly with EBSA and Protein Society, proud to host the 14th EBSA congress at Stockholm University, supported by the Swedish National Committee for Molecular Biosciences (of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences). In this meeting, we are honored to also collaborate with the Biophysical Society, IUPAB and SciLifeLab.
In Biophysics, we investigate properties of time, force, and motion in biomolecular assemblies and processes – from single molecules to cells and tissues – and relate these to biological function. Biophysics has evolved dramatically since 1986, and many Nobel prices have been awarded to biophysicists to previous EBSA Plenary Lecturers in the past, and Nobel Prize winners will also participate in the upcoming congress. The EBSA-2023 will be held at the Aula Magna at Stockholm University, which is also known for hosting the Nobel Lectures in Physics and Chemistry.
EBSA-2023 will offer a creative meeting ground for investigating how the most novel experimental, theoretical and computational approaches in Biophysics can be synergistically tailored to improve our understanding of biological function, and thereby build an even stronger scientific bridge between physics, biology and medicine.
We are much looking forward to learning more about your most recent findings at EBSA-2023, and to jointly enjoy novel breakthroughs in this wide and exciting field. Read more: https://mkon.nu/ebsa

24. – 28. July 2021 Vienna

Austria has a long-standing tradition in biophysics: in 2021, the Austrian Biophysical Society will celebrate its 60th birthday. Founded in 1961, Biophysics Austria is among the oldest biophysical societies in Europe and hosted the first European meeting in Biophysics in Baden by Vienna in 1971. The 2021 congress will be held under the umbrella and with the support of the European Biophysical Societies Association (EBSA).  Many well-known companies will support this meeting.

We designed an outstanding scientific programme covering most biophysical research directions, including single-molecule biophysics, high resolution optical and force microscopy, ion channels and transporters, lipids and membranes, structural biology, theoretical biophysics, cell mechanics, and many other subjects.

Our event features cross-disciplinary plenary lectures that foster discussions at or beyond the frontiers of current biophysical research. For the first time, a public lecture will start the congress. Nobel laureate Ada Yonath is honoring the contribution of Erwin Schrödinger to life sciences by outlining her view on the old question “What is life?”. The lecture will be open to any person interested in science.

More than 60 invited speakers have already agreed to share their latest exciting results. More than 70 slots are planned for the junior researchers to present their results.

We are preparing our meeting as a hybrid meeting, i.e., we would like to welcome every interested biophysicist – independent of the travel situation. If vaccination is unable to stop the pandemic spread, the meeting will be held online. In this case, all registration fees will be converted to virtual fees.

Please pay attention to many bursaries and awards provided by EBSA, Biophysics Austria, and the Biophysical Society of America. We also have exciting news for all young parents struggling to combine science and family – we will offer child care for the participants!

The Austrian Biophysical Society is highly pleased and honored to host the scientific communities from the European Biophysics Associate Societies. We will go to great lengths to make EBSA 2021 meeting in Vienna most enjoyable and as memorable as possible!
