Dear all,
We are happy to announce that registration for the 61st NBS Contact Meeting is now open!
The meeting will take place 21 – 24 January 2026, at Storefjell Resort, Gol.
This year’s meeting is organized by the NBS Bergen branch, and we hope to gather a strong contingent from Bergen!
We have put together an exciting scientific program featuring plenary lectures (see below), minisymposia, poster sessions, and additional thematic sessions currently in planning (stay tuned!). There will also be an opening in the program to enjoy some cross-country or downhill skiing in the free time, and on the final evening, we will conclude the conference with the traditional banquet.
Check out the conference poster here: Program — NBS
The confirmed plenary lectures are:
Thomas Helleday – Karolinska Institute, Sweden – Cancer and Biochemistry
Joseph A. Baur – University of Pennsylvania, USA – Biochemistry, Physiology and Aging
Paul Guichard – Universite de Geneve, Switzerland – Cell Biology
Timothy Lynagh – Michael Sars Centre, Norway – Neurobiology
Karin Lindkvist – Lund University, Sweden – Structural Biology
Mounia Lagha – CNRS, France – Developmental Biology
Sandrine Etienne-Mannelville – Institut Pasteur, France – Cell Biology
Luke O’Neil – Trinity College, Ireland – Immunometabolism.
The NBS Contact Meeting is a great opportunity for researchers and students to present their work to a national audience. If you have colleagues or students who have not yet attended an NBS Contact Meeting, encourage them to join!We offer discounted registration fees for PhD and master students.
The conference is easy to access via train from Bergen – what a better way to start a conference than to cross Hardangervidda on a train in wintertime?
Early bird registration lasts until the 16th of November – abstract submission deadline is 19th of December.
We look forward to seeing you there!
