European Biological Inorganic Chemistry Conference


The European Biological Inorganic Chemistry Conference, or EUROBIC as it is most commonly called, is a biannual conference on Bioinorganic chemistry founded in 1992. The conference is held in Europe but attracts scientists from all over the world. EUROBIC was the result of a merger of the Swiss-Italian SIMBIC conference and the French-German SAMBAS conference. The aim is to create a forum and promote collaboration between scientists in the highly multidisciplinary field of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, ranging from biology to inorganic chemistry.
EUROBIC usually span over five days and include around a hundred oral presentations and a few hundred poster presentations. Oral presentations are divided into "plenary lectures" that are joint for the entire conference and parallel sessions including "keynote lectures", "session lectures" and "oral lectures".
Since 1994, the European Medal for Bio-Inorganic Chemistry, also called the EUROBIC award, is presented in conjunction with the conference, customary as part of the closing ceremony.
