Upcoming Meetings in 2025
#SaveTheDate #ChemBioParis2025
ICBS & ECBS joint meeting
ChemBioParis2025
6-9 October, 2025
Sorbonne Univesité, Paris, France
ChemBioParis 2025, or ICBS/ECBS 2025, is a joint edition of the 14th annual conference of the International Chemical Biology Society & the 9th European Chemical Biology Symposium. It is co-organized by the International Chemical Biology Society, the EuChemS Division of Chemical Biology and Chemistry in Life Sciences, EU-OPENSCREEN, and the Division of Chemical Biology: Chemistry and Life Sciences of the French Chemical Society, SCF-ChemBio.
The annual conference of the International Chemical Biology Society (ICBS) has been organized since 2011, alternating between Northern America and other continents. The last, and only time, it was held in Europe was back in 2015, with the Berlin edition.
The European Chemical Biology Symposium has been organized biennially since 2008 in a European city by EU-OPENSCREEN, a not-for-profit European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). Since the Madrid edition in 2019, it has been co-organized by the EuChemS Division of Chemical Biology and Chemistry in Life Sciences.
The Berlin edition in 2015 was a joint ECBS & ICBS event. Ten years later, ICBS comes back to Europe for the first time for ChemBioParis2025, a new ICBS / ECBS joint meeting, and a major event for European and Worldwide chemical biology.
Do not miss this edition, featuring an exceptional lineup of keynote and invited speakers, at Sorbonne University, in the heart of the beautiful city of Paris!
Registrations open on April 28th, 2025
Abstract Submission Deadline will be June 9th, 2025
Early Bird Deadline will be June 9th, 2025

The school is aimed at PhD students and postdoctoral researchers working in the Computational Chemical Biology field that are eager to learn more from specialists in the field through hands-on courses and personalized instruction.
We believe this school will set the groundwork for becoming a leading event in Computational Chemical Biology in Europe, to train the next generation of computational chemical biologists.
Confirmed topics and lecturers are:
- Cheminformatics and Machine Learning in Drug Discovery. Albert Antolín, IIBB-CSIC, ES.
- Machine Learning Potentials. Fernanda Duarte, Oxford University, UK.
- Molecular Dynamics and Enhanced Sampling. Antonio Monari, Université Cité Paris, FR.
- Free-Energy Calculations. Marc García Borras and Ferrán Feixas, Universitat de Girona, ES.
- Coarse Grain Models. Manuel Melo, Universidade de Lisboa, PT.
- QMMM. Miquel Huix Rotllant, CNRS Marseille, FR.
- Graphic digital representation, visual communication and social media: Eugenio Vázquez (CiQUS, ES) and Reyes Nuñez-Franco (CIC bioGUNE, ES).
You will need to bring your laptop to perform the tutorials. The registration fee (450 EUR) covers lectures, hands-on tutorials, accommodation (3 nights), meals and coffee breaks.
Places are limited to 40 participants to maintain an intimate, workshop-style atmosphere and ensure effective mentoring.
We´re looking forward to meeting you!

School on “Chirality: from biology to pharmaceuticals and nanomaterials”
2024, 28th July – 3rd August
Hotel Giardino sul mare, Aeolian Islands, Lipari, Italy
Dear Friends,
It is our great pleasure announce the first edition of School on “Chirality: from biology to pharmaceuticals and nanomaterials”, which will be held in the magnificent scenario of Lipari, in the Aeolian Islands from 28 July to 3 August 2024.
The School will be dedicated to the introduction (the origin of molecular and supramolecular chirality and their experimental determination) and in-depth analysis of both theoretical and experimental topics and is dedicated to both simple listeners and doctoral students. Therefore, the School plays the twofold role of congress and school: a place of meeting and discussion between different generations of researchers. The event will be characterized by a very informal and relaxing atmosphere with lessons in the morning and terrace/poolside discussions in the afternoon, plus two social tours to the Aeolian Islands (one tour includes social dinner + dancing).
The headquarters of the School will be the Hotel Giardino sul mare (http://www.giardinosulmare.it/).
Early registration applications can be submitted up to April 30th, 2024. Late registrations will be accepted up to June 21st, 2024.

ELRIG THERAPEUTIC OLIGO AND EUROPEAN CHEMICAL BIOLOGY SYMPOSIUM 2023 (ELRIG/ECBS 2023)
2023, 9th – 11th May
AstraZeneca, Gothenburg, Sweden
The inaugural ELRIG meeting on Therapeutic OLIGOs combined with the 8th European Chemical Biology Symposium (ECBS) will be held on May 9-11 at the beautiful AstraZeneca R&D site in Gothenburg. This interactive 3-day event will host leading scientists from academia, industry and the vendor community to discuss recent advancements in the discovery of therapeutic OLIGOs and in the Chemical Biology research field in Europe and internationally. The ECBS part of the meeting is co-organized by EU-OPENSCREEN and the EuChemS Division of Chemistry in Life Sciences, and includes contributions from key academic chemical biology research groups in Europe. Our ambition is to create an open access meeting and an inspiring environment for networking between biologists and chemists to fuel cross-fertilisation between research areas.
