6TH  CENTRAL EUROPEAN
BIOMEDICAL CONGRESS

Integrating Neuropharmacology and Bioinformatics with AI

Welcome to the 6th CEBC
 in Krakow!

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great enthusiasm that we invite you to join us for the 6th Central European Biomedical Congress (CEBC), held from July 22 – 24, 2025, in the enchanting city of Krakow, Poland.

This year’s theme, “Integrating Neuropharmacology and Bioinformatics with AI,” promises to bring together the brightest minds in biomedicine to explore cutting-edge innovations that could transform the future of healthcare. From advanced neuroimaging and bioinformatics to AI-powered breakthroughs in diagnostics and therapy, the 6th CEBC will delve into technologies reshaping how we diagnose, monitor, and treat neurological disorders.

This Congress is more than a gathering, it is a global platform for researchers, clinicians, and innovators from diverse disciplines such as medicine, pharmacology, biotechnology, and bioinformatics. With an anticipated 400 participants, 50 distinguished speakers, and numerous opportunities to engage in workshops, poster sessions, and expert panels, the 6th CEBC is your chance to network, collaborate, and contribute to shaping the future of biomedicine.

The success of the 5th CEBC in 2023 – a hybrid event that brought together 361 participants from 19 countries, including 252 onsite attendees in Krakow – highlighted the growing impact of this Congress. Attendees enjoyed plenary lectures, poster sessions, and workshops, including dedicated events for young scientists and ERC expert sessions. Building on this momentum, the 6th CEBC is poised to offer an even more dynamic and enriching experience.

Krakow is not just the Congress venue – it’s an essential part of the CEBC experience. Known as the “Cradle of Science and Culture,” Krakow is a city that inspires. Immerse yourself in Krakow’s breathtaking history, from the cobblestone streets of its UNESCO-listed Old Town to the iconic Wawel Castle, and explore the city’s modern side with its cutting-edge architecture and lively cultural scene. It’s no wonder that 12 million tourists visit Krakow yearly – here, history, culture, and science come together like nowhere else.

The 6th CEBC isn’t just about attending – it’s about contributing to a collective mission to advance medical science, foster collaboration, and explore the possibilities of innovation. Whether you are presenting groundbreaking research, networking with peers, or simply absorbing new ideas, the Congress offers something for everyone.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Krakow where science and culture collide in a city like no other. Let’s make history together at the 6th CEBC!

Krakow

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.
