Abstract
The European Biophysical Societies’ Association (EBSA) is an association of 32 biophysical societies in Europe dedicated to the promotion of excellence in biophysics. Through cooperation and collaborative activities, EBSA makes a major and positive impact on the European and International biophysics community. Biennial congresses at various European locations, organized by host societies, are a major activity that engages biophysicists with the wider international scientific community. The European Biophysics Journal, EBJ, is owned by EBSA and publishes high-quality biophysics contributions from around the Globe. The inception of EBSA can be dated to 1984. Peter Bayley, President of EBSA 1990–1993 and Managing Editor, European Biophysics Journal 1984–1999, wrote a history of ‘EBSA- the early days’, which was published in the Abstract book of the 2007 EBSA Congress. In the present article we aim to update and expand the history to 2024, the 40th anniversary of EBSA, highlighting some developments and achievements of EBSA and the communities it represents.
期刊介绍：
The journal publishes papers in the field of biophysics, which is defined as the study of biological phenomena by using physical methods and concepts. Original papers, reviews and Biophysics letters are published. The primary goal of this journal is to advance the understanding of biological structure and function by application of the principles of physical science, and by presenting the work in a biophysical context.
Papers employing a distinctively biophysical approach at all levels of biological organisation will be considered, as will both experimental and theoretical studies. The criteria for acceptance are scientific content, originality and relevance to biological systems of current interest and importance.
Principal areas of interest include:
- Structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules
- Membrane biophysics and ion channels
- Cell biophysics and organisation
- Macromolecular assemblies
- Biophysical methods and instrumentation
- Advanced microscopics
- System dynamics.
