2023

• March 13 – March 24 : workshop, Engineering life: unifying concepts from system chemistry, biophysics and theoretical physics, Munich (Garching), Germany
  The workshop aims to bring together scientists from biophysics, system chemistry, and theoretical physics to discuss the current challenges in engineering life-like processes. Petra Schwille, Kate Adamala, Sijbren Otto, Wilhelm Huck, L. Mahadevan, and Frank Jülicher are the keynotes speakers.
  Registration deadline: 18 September 2022
• April 11-12: conference, Origins Center 2023 Conference, Groningen, Netherlands
  At the conference, a multidisciplinary group of scientists, including geoscientists, evolutionary biologists, ecologists, chemists, physicists, mathematicians, and astronomers will update each other about recent developments in their fields. The topics of this meeting are aligned with the main research themes of the Origins Center: the origin of life; life and its relation to geology; finding life in outer space; metabolism, from genes to function; and from cells to organisms. Christophe Danelon, Ipre Gözen, and Evan Spruijt are three of the confirmed speakers at this conference. Registration
• April 17 – 21: workshop, Interdisciplinary Challenges: from non-Equilibrium Physics to Life Sciences (InterChall2023), Centro Congressi Frentani, Rome, Italy
  Who it is for: for early-career researchers, from undergraduate students to recently appointed faculty, who are tackling interdisciplinary challenges in Physics, Biology, and Chemistry
  Registration deadline: February 15 (Registration link here)

  Venice, Italy
• May 22 – May 24: conference, SynCell 2023 – International Conference on Engineering Synthetic Cells and Organelles
  Minneapolis, MN, United States
  Registration is open!
  SynCell2023 is an international conference that aims to bring together researchers worldwide to present and discuss the latest results in in bottom-up synthetic biology research. In addition, SynCell2023 also provides room to discuss future scientific and technological perspectives of research on synthetic cells and organelles, and the philosophical and ethical considerations that come with them. The program will feature plenary as well as parallel sessions with presentations and discussions, and poster sessions. Invited top scientists will give tutorials for young researchers, and technical sessions and talks for all attendees.
