Welcome to Barcelona Distinguished Colleagues, dear Friends,
On behalf of the Executive Committee of the European Society for Photobiology (ESP), the Executive Board of the International Union of Photobiology (IUPB), and the Congress Organizing Committee, we cordially invite you to attend the World Congress on Light and Life (17th Congress of the International Union of Photobiology and 18th Congress of the European Society for Photobiology), which will be held in Barcelona (Spain) from the 25th to the 30th August 2019.
This first World Congress on Light and Life will provide a comprehensive international forum for the dissemination of the most recent research and technological developments in the photobiological sciences and in photomedicine, and it will offer a unique opportunity for presentation of the latest breakthroughs, exchange of new ideas, and for establishing global and far-reaching collaborations.
The broadest possible coverage of the photobiological sciences will be achieved through 60 symposia featuring 540 presentations, 5 plenary and 18 keynote lectures, complemented by poster sessions and applied photobiology sessions. An unprecedented number of speaking opportunities will enable a large fraction of the delegates to disseminate and discuss their research thereby increasing its impact. In addition, there will be the opportunity to contribute and participate in interactive poster sessions. There will be fellowships available to encourage the active participation of young scientists in the congress program.
Barcelona is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, a highly dynamic south-European and Mediterranean city with a unique mix of contemporary and historic architecture. Barcelona is a creative, modern and cosmopolitan city that offers a vast array of attractions such as the legacy of famous architect Antoni Gaudí, a large number of fine restaurants, 5 km of beaches, a medieval city centre – the gothic quarter – the famous Ramblas avenue where you go to see and be seen… A city you will love.
The weather in late August is pleasantly warm, with an average temperature of 24 ºC. The temperature rarely goes above 30 ºC and the probability of rain is low.
The congress venue is the hotel Crowne Plaza Fira Center. It is very conveniently located within walking distance of the city center and several museums and tourist attractions. It can be easily reached from the airport using the “Aerobus” and is also a few minutes away from the main Railway station. The Crowne Plaza has excellent facilities that ensure a smooth running of the congress.
A final word to our sponsors, to whom this invitation is warmly extended. Full recognition of their contributions will be made at the meeting as well as in Congress literature and on our website.
We look forward to welcoming you in Barcelona, a wonderful place for a memorable meeting.

Why attend The Congress will gather the top international scientists in the field of photobiology, photochemistry and photomedicine. It will be an important forum for the dissemination of advanced knowledge and technological development in all fields of photobiological research, for scientific discussions and exchange of innovative ideas and for establishing new collaborations for future research.
We expect the attendance of the Congress to exceed 600 participants: participating as a sponsor will be an opportunity for:
• Brand visibility and product promotion • Product integration with innovative science in the broad field of photobiology. • Face-to-face outreach and relationship building with professionals and present and future key
photobiology leaders from all around the world. • Share and communicate science. • Capture the scientific content for research and educational purposes.
We encourage you to not miss this unique opportunity to contribute to the meeting and communicate your company’s message directly to your target audiences. Full recognition of your sponsorship will be made at the meeting, in Congress literature and on our website.
Participants profile: who will attend? The Congress participants reflect a large range of present and future professionals both from the private and public sector. Both societies encourage the participation of students and early career researchers to match our large population of senior scientists. We attract scientists from a large number of fields, including physicists, chemists, plant & animal biologists, biochemists, cell biologists, a large population of medical doctors and much more. Last but not least, we are proud to have a worldwide reach: the last IUPB meeting in Cordoba gathered delegates from 38 countries.
