Society

The EPBRS is an international society of scientists devoted to research on circadian and seasonal rhythms, covering all aspects of biological rhythms from molecules to behaviour.

The X. Congress in Frankfurt will comprise lectures from invited speakers and provide ample time for oral short communications, as well as much space and audience for poster presentations.
Particularly young scientist are encouraged to attend and all efforts are made to support their participation by providing travel grants and inexpensive accommodation.
