6TH CENTRAL EUROPEAN
Integrating Neuropharmacology and Bioinformatics with AI
Welcome to the 6th CEBC
in Krakow!
CEBC 2025 – Where Biology, Engineering & Technology Converge for the Future of Medicine
Thank you to every one of the 300 participants from 23 countries, 56 invited speakers, and a vibrant community of early-career scientists who shaped the 6ᵗʰ CEBC on Engineering, Biology & Chemistry.
Together, we demonstrated that the most transformative innovations arise at the interface of genomics, advanced materials, and artificial intelligence – all in the service of better health outcomes.
With 74 posters and over 130 abstracts in the Book of Abstracts, the poster hall was a microcosm of CEBC’s intellectual range – from next-gen neural electrodes to vesicular drug-delivery systems. The dedicated Young Investigator Session captured the imagination of the community, affirming that tomorrow’s breakthroughs will be forged by today’s emerging researchers.
International collaborations sealed at CEBC 2025 underline a common goal: translating interdisciplinary science into tangible medical solutions. We are grateful to our sponsors, institutional partners, and the scientific committees whose commitment turned ideas into action.
Mark Your Calendars!
7ᵗʰ CEBC – 21-23 June 2027, Kraków, Poland
We are already curating an even broader program.
Onward Together 🌍
The spirit of CEBC 2025 can be captured in a single observation: when disciplines meet, medicine moves forward. We look forward to welcoming you to Kraków in 2027 to push these frontiers even further. Until then, stay curious, stay collaborative, and see you at CEBC 2027!

Krakow – due to its demographic, economic, social and scientific-cultural strength – ranks second in Poland among cities. It has unique values that are the basis of its economic development and an increase in the quality of life. It has high-quality human capital at its disposal. It is a city people consciously choose as a place to live, work, study, spend free time in a variety of ways. Sustainable development and the ability to meet specific challenges with the skillful use of own resources are the main priorities.
The academic center, with its 650 year old University , is permanently connected with the city and builds an unrepeated resource of knowledge in a unique way. It is the key to competitiveness and innovation not only of Krakow, but also of the entire region. The intensively developing economy based on knowledge is a completely new process in the economic life of the City, which makes it part of the modern economies of the world.
The overriding goal for Krakow is not only to be a modern city but also to be proud of its historical heritage. It aspires to be an open, rich, friendly and safe metropolis, vibrant with culture. Smart management and strengthening the sphere of modern services and the research and development sector are the foundations for the development of Krakow – a city where innovation and effective cooperation between science and business are the focus.
