Dear All, It is a pleasure to announce the opening of abstract submissions for the 9th International BioBrillouin Meeting (BioBrillouin 2025) that will take place at the Max Planck Society Conference House in Berlin, Germany on the 25-27th November 2025. All information pertaining to submission of abstracts and the meeting can be found at: www.biobrillouin25.com Deadline for abstract submission is 1st October 2025, with notification of acceptance on 14th October. Submission for both talks (12min+3min questions) and/or Posters are accepted. We have assembled an impressive lineup of invited/keynote speakers, that we believe encompass the latest developments in the field (from technology development, interpretations to applications) and provide perspectives/insights for expanding its horizons to new applications of interest to the community. The meeting venue will be the Max Planck Conference House, an intimate setting where many great meetings have taken place over the last century, and promises to provide the perfect opportunity for discussing and building ideas, and networking. Registration will open shortly (if you submit an abstract we will inform you as soon as it opens, but you will also receive information via this mailing list when it opens). Covered in the registration are all meals (lunches and dinners, including conference banquet) during the course of the meeting. Please spread the word (friends, colleagues, mailing-lists, end-of-talk announcements, etc.), and we hope to see many of you in Berlin!! -Kareem On behalf of the Scientific Organizing Committee: Jochen Guck - Local Conference Chair (Max Planck Inst. for the Science of Light & MPZ für Physik und Medizin, Germany) Kareem Elsayad (Medical University of Vienna, Austria) Robert Prevedel (European Molecular Biology Laboratory - EMBL, Germany) Francesca Palombo (Exeter University, United Kingdom) Stephanie Möllmert (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Germany) Michael Monaghan (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Thorsten Hamann (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway) Questions pertaining to the meeting should be addressed to: SOC25@biobrillouin.org PS.
