8-11 October 2026 – Rytro, Poland
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 35th Annual Conference of the Polish Society for Biomaterials, a meeting many of you will know and have loved, as Biomaterials in Medicine and Veterinary Medicine.
This year is a special one. We are celebrating two milestones at once: the 35th edition of a conference that has been bringing our community together almost every year since 1990, and the 30th anniversary of the Polish Society for Biomaterials. To mark the occasion, the conference arrives with a new name, a new logo, and a new look. But everything that matters has stayed exactly where it belongs: the same Perła Południa in Rytro, the same second week of October, and the same warm, family-like atmosphere that keeps so many of us coming back year after year.
What began as a national meeting on carbon biomaterials has grown, over three decades, into an international conference recognised well beyond Poland. This jubilee year reflects that journey. We are honoured to host ten outstanding speakers from eight countries across four continents. Among them the presidents of the world’s two leading biomaterials organisations, Prof. Joachim Kohn (IUS-BSE) and Prof. Nicholas Dunne (ESB), alongside oral and poster sessions and a dedicated competition for early-career scientists.
Of course, the science is only half the story. Over the years we’ve become almost as well known for our evenings together as for our scientific quality: the regional dinner at the „Nad potokiem” cottage bar, the gala dinner, the Saturday excursion through the surrounding mountains, and the conversations that carry on long after the last lecture. The single, all-inclusive registration fee covers it all: participation, accommodation, meals, and every social event, so that you can simply be present, with us.
We warmly invite you to join us in Rytro from 8 to 11 October 2026, and to be part of this jubilee chapter in the story of biomaterials in Poland.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
