The Society of Young Scientists in Biophysics will be hosting the Eve Fest of the Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society of Japan!

In 2024, the Biophysical Society of Japan held the joint congress with the International Union of Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB2024) in Kyoto, Japan. The Society of Young Scientists in Biophysics organized the IUPAB Eve Fest on the day before the IUPAB2024 to promote international exchange among young scientists. More than 100 people from all over the world attended the congress and had really active discussions.
Continuing this trend, the Society of Young Scientists in Biophysics will also be hosting another Eve Fest on the day before the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society of Japan! The event will take place in the afternoon at the same venue as the Annual Meeting, so you can participate just by arriving the day before. We expect this congress to be an opportunity to engage in active discussion with a wide range of participants. Don’t miss it!
