*** REMINDER: Registration Deadline 30.06.2016 ***

Dear Colleagues,

it is a  pleasure for us to invite you to the  Annual Meeting of the German Biophysical Society from 25th to 28th of September 2016 in Erlangen, Germany. 

The meeting is traditionally an interdisciplinary meeting point for scientists and students from various research fields with a special focus on biophysics, molecular biophysics, membranes, cells, networks, and medical biophysics. This year’s cooperation partners are the Natural Sciences Faculty of the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and the Max Planck Insitute for the Science of Light in Erlangen. For further information please refer to the conference homepage 

www.biophysics2016.org 

or contact us via e-mail to rainer.boeckmann at fau.de or via phone +49 9131 85 25409. 

The venue of this years conference will be the lecture building of the medicine in Erlangen (Ulmenweg 18), located very close to the city center of Erlangen, and thereby enabling very short (walking) distances. Thanks to the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, the Medical Faculty, the DFG, and a number of sponsors from industry we could keep the registration fees low. For PhD students the registration fee is as low as 70 Euro (for DGfB members, only 10 Euro/year), including e.g. the conference dinner in the Redoutensaal - a baroque ballroom in the city center -  beverages and lunch during the meeting.

We highly encourage both renowned and junior researchers to contribute to the programme of the meeting and submit abstracts. Both early registration and abstract submission deadline are June 30, 2016. Early registration is strongly encouraged! (+40 Euro for late registration until July 15, 2016)

This year the conference will host a Young Investigators Award competition. To apply for this award, please submit a curriculum vitae, a two-page summary of your research and the names of three persons who could support your application with a letter of reference. After the first round of review, four runner-ups will have the opportunity to hold short plenary talks, and two of the presenters will be the winners of a ‘Young Investigator Award’. The award consists of 500 Euros plus funding for a 3-month research stay at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg.
The application deadline is the 30th of June, 2016. Please send your application (one combined pdf file) to rainer.boeckmann at fau.de (Subject: Young Investigator Award Competition).

Also, this year the conference will be followed by a 1,5 day Satellite Meeting on Dynamic Interactions at Biomembranes (confirmed speakers Michael Kozlov, Joshua Zimmerberg, Luca Monticelli, Philipp Kukura). The website www.biophysics2016.org offers details for the registration both to the Annual Meeting of the German Biophysical Society and the satellite meeting on biomembranes.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Erlangen in September 2016!

It is recommended to book the hotel as soon as possible (trade fair during the same week!)! A list of hotels is available at:
