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" (≈1 hour) that are joint for the entire conference and parallel sessions including "keynote lectures" (≈30 min), "session lectures" (≈25 min) and "oral lectures" (≈15 minutes).

Since 1994 (EUROBIC-2), 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.

gollark: Ah yes, "Nobody" is high in violence.

gollark: It's using `Buffer`s? Can you even DO that in the browser?

gollark: I could put it up on the ultra-reliable osmarks.tk CDN.

gollark: Conspiracy theory: they have equal or worse precision to this but better rounding.

gollark: Answer: you CANNOT ¡!!!!!
