ECSBM 2026 – 21st European Conference on the Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules
Dear Collegues,
We cordially invite you to attend the 21st European Conference on the Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules (ECSBM 2026) to be held at the Babeș-Bolyai University (Campus Economica), Cluj-Napoca, Romania, between August 30 – September 03, 2026, read more here.
The European Conference on the Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules (ECSBM) was founded in 1985 and is held every two years in a different European country. The meetings are attended by researchers using traditional spectroscopic techniques (Raman, IR, UV-Vis, fluorescence, NMR, EPR), as well as those who work on imaging techniques applicable to the study of biomolecules, cells, or tissues. Recently, particular attention has been devoted to the applications of biomolecular spectroscopy in the fields of biomedical imaging, anticancer research, drug characterization for pharmaceutical applications, drug delivery and nano-biotechnology. Researchers not only from all countries of Europe attend the conference, but also from North Africa, Israel and Middle East countries, India, Japan and Australia, United States, Middle and South America. For its qualified attendance and for the broadness of scientific topics covered, ECSBM has become during the last years a leading conference located at the crossroad of three fundamental scientific fields: Physics, Chemistry, Biology.
We will be delighted to welcome all of you for an interesting scientific experience and hope that the conference will provide a stimulating environment for many interesting discussions and new collaborations.
