We are excited to invite you to the LS2 Annual Meeting 2026, Switzerland’s premier life sciences event, held at the Irchel Campus of the University of Zürich from February 11 to 12, 2026! The meeting will kick off with the Young Scientists’ Satellite on February 10. We hope to bring together researchers from across Switzerland and beyond to share knowledge, promote collaboration, and explore the latest scientific breakthroughs.

This year’s theme, "Fueling Life Across Scales," emphasizes the essential role of energy in biology, from molecules to entire organisms. Be sure to attend keynote lectures by renowned scientists Sarah-Maria Fendt, Heidi McBride, and Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz, covering topics like cancer biology, mitochondria, metabolism, and advanced imaging technologies!

The program also includes 11 symposia, 14 invited speakers, two poster sessions, a Young Scientists’ Satellite (featuring 2 keynote speakers and a workshop), and a lively industry exhibition. Whether you are a senior researcher, an early-career scientist, or just beginning your studies, this is your chance to showcase your work, connect with peers, and participate in engaging scientific discussions. Numerous opportunities are available for industry partners to showcase and gain new contacts.

Submit your abstract by November 9, 2025, for a chance to be selected for a talk in one of the symposia or at the YSS! All submitted abstracts will receive a guaranteed poster slot and be automatically entered into the poster prize competition! We especially encourage early-career researchers to participate!

Register by January 11, 2026. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Zürich for an inspiring and collaborative meeting!
