Inaugural conference of the European Society for Spatial Biology (ESSB), 2024 Berlin
Anja Hauser
The ESSB is still a young society, it was only founded this year. Therefore, we were
all the more surprised and, in a positive sense, overwhelmed by the enthusiasm we
received during the preparation for this conference. The number of registrations
far exceeded our expectations. In addition to the great interest of participants from
academia, we are very grateful for the support from industry partners who make this event possible.
Together, this highlights the relevance and timeliness of the interdisciplinary, rapidly developing
field of spatial biology, as well as the need for scientific exchange and for meeting other scientists
I hope that with this conference we can create a forum for exactly those interactions and lay the foun-
dation for many more ESSB events that will advance this interesting and important field.
Now I wish all participants a successful conference - enjoy the science, immerse yourself in discus-
