The 20th European Congress on Biotechnology (ECB2026) took place in Antwerp, Belgium, from 28 June to 1 July 2026, bringing together the biotechnology community to explore the latest advances in research, innovation and sustainable biotechnology.
Biotechnology is no longer a collection of specialist disciplines evolving in parallel. It is becoming something broader, more connected, and far more consequential: a foundational technology shaping how Europe feeds itself, heals itself, powers itself, and sustains its environment.
Abstract submission for the 20th European Congress on Biotechnology (ECB2026) remains open until 19 April, with final slots still available for invited talks. Participants can also apply for flash poster and poster presentations. Early registration rates are still available for a limited time.
