The 34th Annual Conference of the European Society for Biomaterials will take place from September 7 to 11, 2025 in Turin, Italy.
The motto of the ESB 2025 conference is “Biomaterials on the horizon”. The horizon opens our mind to new and at times unexpected discoveries, and reminds us of the charming challenges of our research.
The motto is inspired by the fast development of new sources for multifunctional materials, and groundbreaking technologies that enable new structures and devices that improve healthcare, prevent pathologies, and allow patient-oriented therapies.
With all this in mind, participants to the ESB 2025 will share and discuss in an exciting and dynamic environment, traditional areas of research, such as e.g. clinical translation, regenerative medicine, in vitro models, drug delivery, antibacterial treatments, but also emerging themes, such as biomaterials assisted gene and cell therapy, investigations at the (bio)molecular and cell scale, as well as crosscutting topics, such as artificial intelligence in biomaterial research, ethics, and 3Rs principle, regulatory frameworks. Particular attention will be given to the Sustainable Development Goals, in which the role of the biomaterials is increasingly relevant.
The conference will be hosted in Turin, in an historical site, the Lingotto, the former headquarter of one the most important automotive brands, FIAT-Lancia-Alfa Romeo, now Stellantis. Turin is an important industrial and cultural, people-oriented city in the vivid north-west of Italy, close to the Alps. Turin hosted the Winter Olympic Games in 2006 and the Eurovision Song Contest in 2022, and is renowned for its delicious food, fascinating monuments, and for hosting the world famous Egyptian Museum.
