About °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ Congresses

The annual °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ Congress is one of the most visible activities of °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ. As one of the largest bio-congresses in Europe, attracting up to ~2000 attendees, the Congress provides a platform for international scientific exchange and showcases the newest developments in biochemistry, molecular biology and related areas. The Congress comprises inspiring plenary lectures presented by outstanding scientists, a range of subject-specific symposia to provide deeper dives into different areas of bioscience research, extensive poster communications, and interesting workshops and other activities on related topics. It is also a celebration of achievements, with several °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ medals and prizes awarded. °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ Congresses are a collaboration between °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ and one or more of its Constituent Societies, moving to a different location within the °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ area each year.

°ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ supports participation of a large number of young scientists in its annual Congress through the °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ Congress Bursaries scheme. In addition, the Congress is also immediately preceded by the °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ Young Scientists’ Forum (YSF), a lively gathering of over 100 PhD students and young postdocs, whose attendance at this event and the ensuing °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ Congress is funded by °ÄÃÅÕý°æ´óÈ«Ãâ·Ñ×ÊÁÏ YSF grants.
