European Biosensor Symposia (EBS)

The EBS conference series is rooted in Europe, but open to all contributions devoted to the exchange of scientific ideas, achievements and experiences in the field of biosensors. It comprises all areas of biosensor research – from recognition elements, transduction methods, immobilization strategies, via materials and system integration to theoretical modeling and, eventually, application. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, the EBS series also embraces contributions from neighboring areas of research such as nanosciences, microfluidics or bioenergetics, to name just a few. The EBS series was initiated in Potsdam in 2017, originating from the very successful German Biosensor Symposia (DBS) which were regularly held between 1999 and 2015.

The EBS takes place every two years. It has a strong focus on young scientists at the start of their academic career. The symposia aim at creating a platform for lively discussions around oral presentations and various poster sessions, accompanied by overview lectures from experienced scientists. Highlights of each symposium are the honoring of the best young conference participants with awards for the best poster and oral presentations, as well as the stimulating conference dinner which is an integral part of the conference for all participants.

The Scientific Board provides the solid basis for the European Biosensor Symposia. The members are supporting not only the basic idea of the conference series with a strong focus on young scientists, but promote the EBS activities also by the following activities:
1) Sending students and co-workers to the symposium,
2) Work in the committees of the EBS initiative (organising committee, scientific committee),
3) Taking part in the symposium and work on poster or oral prize selections,
4) Making advertisement for the meeting or helping in finding financial support for the EBS.

Out of the Board members the Scientific Committee for every individual EBS will be formed.
