Inaugural conference of the European Society for Spatial Biology (ESSB)

Welcome

On December 12 and 13, 2024, the inaugural conference of the ESSB will take place here in Berlin. We expect an interdisciplinary audience from various fields of life science including but not limited to pathologists, neuroscientists, tumor immunologists and developmental biologists. All levels of expertise, for example doctoral researchers, postdocs, and principal investigators will attend.

When registering for the conference, you can also tick whether you would like to become a member of the new society, which is free of charge for 2024. An annual membership fee from 2025 will be decided at the 1st members‘ assembly in Berlin, which will take place on December 12 from 18:00-19:00 in the auditorium. Over 200 participants have already indicated their interest.

We would like to present a small speciality: We have childcare during the conference – sponsored by Bruker. So if you need it – please tick this box when you register or send us an email.
