Programme & Demonstrations


Practical training during ISBC2026 will be organized in our innovative and lively format we call Demonstration Fair.

A number of stands will simultaneously offer the opportunity of attending short (15-30 minutes) practical sessions carried by specialists periodically at scheduled times.

  Participants can choose which sessions they want to attend and in what order they will do it. Of course they can also change their schedule on the fly if their next selected session is too busy at the time they selected, if they want to repeat a specially interesting one, or if they change their mind in any other direction.

So make your own crystallization menu and ENJOY!

Additional information

This International School will focus on the fundamentals of crystallization from solution and its applications to the field of the crystallization of biologics.

ISBC2026 will offer five days of lectures and hands-on demonstrations focused on the crystallization of biologics, including peptides, with a strong emphasis on pharmaceutical and industrial applications. Particular attention will be given to protein crystallization as a downstream purification process, positioning it as an alternative to chromatographic techniques, with discussion of scalability and the role of crystallization in enabling efficient and sustainable biomanufacturing.

The School is intended for postgraduate and postdoctoral students as well as for research scientists from industrial and academic backgrounds that deal everyday with crystallization but seek fundamental knowledge on the behavior of crystallizing solutions.

We invite students from all over the world to join us to learn from selected international experts, to hear case study presentations, to watch practical hand-on demonstrations, to participate in round-table discussions and to present their research results in the dedicated poster sessions. The language of the School will be English.
