EBRS Congress 2025
August 24 - August 28

It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the XVIII Congress of the European Biological Rhythms Society (EBRS), from 24 – 28 August 2025 in Lübeck, Germany.
This year’s congress will bring together top chronobiologists and sleep experts from Europe and the world. They will tell us about their most recent findings and best scientific stories, and their vision for the future in chronobiology, sleep science, and circadian medicine. The meeting will be a unique opportunity for scientists to share their ideas, benefit from exchanges and discussions with colleagues, and disseminate their own results on an international stage. Trainees and early-career researchers will be offered a free-of-charge five-star trainee day with the best researchers in the field!
A key highlight of this year’s congress is the ESRS–EBRS Joint Symposium on 26 August, which underscores the strong collaboration between the two societies and our shared commitment to advancing sleep and circadian science across disciplines.
