Dear colleagues:

The 22^nd EBEC conference - EBEC2024 - will be organized in Innsbruck, Austria, on August 26 to 31. We are looking forward to an exciting meeting on bioenergetics and seeing you in Innsbruck.

With kind regards,

Erich

The unifying theme of EBEC

The central unifying theme of EBEC is Bioenergetics and by extension, chemiosmosis. Thus, essential topics for consideration for inclusion in the programme are oxidative phosphorylation in bacteria and mitochondria, photosynthesis, transmembrane transport of metabolites and other small molecules, passage of proteins through membrane barriers, bacterial motility and cell death via apoptosis and other mechanisms involving the mitochondria. As you are aware, in recent years great strides forward in understanding have been made in most of these fields. Thus, we recommend that these topics should provide the core of the programme. That is not to say that related topics such as mitochondrial diseases arising from mutations in both mt-DNA and nuclear genes, involvement of mitochondria in ageing and cancer and related medical issues should be excluded.

With best wishes,

John, Bob, Marten, and Peter

Exhibitors and supporters

Dear [Expert/Sponsor],

EBEC2024 is the highlight of the year of conferences on bioenergetics, held in Europe and attracting scientists and industry professionals from around the world. EBEC2024 promotes the concept of the bioenergetics ecosystem, bringing together students and experts on energy metabolism of mitochondria, chloroplasts, and bacteria. Topics related to structure and function range from cutting edge electron and fluorescence microscopic imaging, modelling, to diagnostic OXPHOS analysis in human health and disease.

We extend our invitation to companies and organizations that specialize in the diverse fields of bioenergetics. All are linked by the interests of the large audience seeking information on newest technologies and contacts. Join us to showcase your products and services to a highly targeted audience.

Sincerely,

Erich Gnaiger

Local organizer of EBEC2024
