Dear Colleagues, Scholars, and Friends,

We are delighted to announce that the 9th China-Europe Symposium on Biomaterials in Regenerative Medicine (CESB 2026), jointly organized by the Chinese Society for Biomaterials (CSBM) and the European Society for Biomaterials (ESB), will be held in Beijing, China, from May 10 to 13, 2026. The conference is co-hosted by the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology and Peking University.

Since its successful inauguration in Suzhou in 2006, CESB has evolved into one of the most prestigious international platforms facilitating profound academic and research collaboration between biomaterials scientists from China and Europe. In 2026, as we commemorate the 20th anniversary of the CESB series, the 9th CESB hosted in Beijing will uphold this tradition, featuring a rigorous and comprehensive scientific program designed to further expand the breadth and deepen the depth of Sino-European cooperation in this field.

We cordially invite you to submit your latest research abstracts and join us in Beijing to share insights and shape the future of biomaterials with peers from China and Europe.
