Cologne 2023

THE EMERGING CHALLENGE – Environmental impacts on human health

We hope you enjoyed Seville, because we are looking forward to meeting you again in Cologne! 

Cologne is the fourth biggest city in Germany, and it is one of the most vibrant cities in the heart of Europe. It is one of Europe’s foremost cities for art and culture, and famous for the Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

More than 40 museums and 130 art galleries, a plethora of musical events and the world-renowned Cologne Carnival support Cologne as a cultural hub. 

Additionally, the city is working towards sustainability and has a great variety of green spaces. Several Universities, together with more than 100.000 students make Cologne a vibrant and international place. 

The University of Cologne is the third largest university city in Germany and covers a broad field of disciplines with a strong focus on Life Sciences. Scientific and strategic collaborations connect basic research to translational medicine. Together with the great international student community, this makes the University of Cologne the perfect host for the next FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE conference: The emerging challenge – environmental impacts on human health

The conference, organised by PhDs and PostDocs, will take place from the 23rd of November until the 25th of November at the University of Cologne.

Scientific Symposium

We are happy to invite you for the 2nd FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE conference, ‘THE EMERGING CHALLENGE: Environmental impacts on human health’. 

Our goal for this year is to inspire young researchers to focus on the importance of the environment united with the progress of biomedical research and its relevance in the progress of society. 

The scientific programme will cover a broad range of topics, from epigenetics, complex diseases and model systems to big data and modeling. In the authentic FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE spirit, we plan on touching upon multidisciplinary research projects and integrative approaches. 

Cologne is a green city, constantly working towards improvement, which makes Cologne one of the European hotspots for promoting more conscious and sustainable development. The green initiatives of Cologne nicely bridge with the opportunity of sharing this knowledge to the novel international generation of investigators who will lead the scientific world in the future. 

This year, #enablegoesgreen!
