General Information
The European Biophysical Societies' Association (EBSA) was formed in 1984 as a non-profit making organisation, with the objectives "to advance and disseminate knowledge of the principles, recent developments and applications of biophysics, and to foster the exchange of scientific information among European biophysicists and biophysicists in general".
It is composed of the Biophysical Societies in the European area, and is managed by an Executive Committee. Click here for a full list of member Societies and their presidents/chairs and secretaries.
EBSA is associated with the international organizations International Union for Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB) and Initiative for Science in Europe (ISE). EBSA maintains close links with Springer Verlag, the publishers of the European Biophysics Journal. The European Biophysics Journal, owned by EBSA, is free of charge for EBSA members.
The purpose of EBSA is to promote Biophysics in Europe. Every two years EBSA organizes the European Biophysics Congress. The next Congress will be held in Rome, Italy. In addition, EBSA offers sponsorships to organisers of meetings and schools that promote biophysics in Europe. Support can come in the form of grants to the organisers or bursaries to participants. EBSA also offers bursaries to individual young scientists to participate in the Biophysics Congress. Furthermore, new initiatives have been generated, such as support for working visits or bursaries to attend scientific meetings.
Featured
The congress is now closed. Our warmest thanks to all speakers, session chairs, poster holders and exhibitors who jointly contributed to the excellent science in the meeting, and to all the generous sponsors, supporting societies and infrastructures who made this meeting possible. We are now looking forward to the next congress in Rome, June 30 - July 4, 2025.
The Biophysicist Webinar Series
This series, initiated and sponsored by the Editors of The Biophysicist and the Biophysical Society’s Education Committee, seeks to help attendees to become more effective in their teaching of biophysics, while valuing diversity and equity among students with different backgrounds. The later Webinars will also discuss research-based approaches to teaching biophysics and introduce the participants to the field of educational research, with particular application to biophysics. Each event will last 90 minutes, featuring a 30-minute talk by a guest speaker followed by breakout groups and discussion involving the participants and the speaker.
There is no fee to attend; however, you must register separately for each webinar. A Zoom link to the webinar will be sent to all registrants in advance.
