Welcome

(During the months of May through November of each year, the Biophysical Society sponsors focused-topic meetings for 150-250 attendees organized by Society members. These meetings are held throughout the world.

Proposals for meetings to be held in 2026/2027 are now being accepted. All submissions will be evaluated by the Thematic Meetings Committee.

To be considered for a Thematic Meeting, suggestions must be submitted through this site and all sections must be complete. Be prepared to provide the following information:
- Names and emails of the organizers (must have gender, geographic, and ethnic diversity)
- Proposed meeting title
- Description of meeting's topic and themes (one paragraph)
- Explanation of topic's timeliness and importance (one paragraph)
- Proposed meeting location and rationale for the location
(Meetings are to take place outside of the United States)
- Proposed meeting dates and number of anticipated attendees
- Potential additional funding sources
- Potential conflicting meetings

Proposals should address the following criteria:
- Organizers must be Society members.
- Topics must be timely, not recently addressed, and should foster interdisciplinary and international research.
- Proposed meetings must be standalone meetings, not satellites to other meetings or an established small meeting that already meets periodically.
- Speakers must present new and exciting research.
- The proposed list of speakers must represent geographic, gender, and ethnic diversity of Society membership.
- Joint meetings with other societies or institutions are appropriate when justified.

Submissions are due by Tuesday, July 16, 2024.
