We would be delighted to welcome you to the 20th Congress of the European Society for Photobiology that will be held August 27.-31. 2023 in the beautiful city of Lyon, France! A dedicated congress home page will be opened. We invite your company to participate and look forward to your support. For interest, please contact the chair of the local organizers:

Dear ESP members and colleagues,
On behalf of the ESP Executive Committee and the Congress Organizing Committee, I am delighted to invite you all to attend the 20th Congress of the European Society for Photobiology, which will take place in Lyon from August 27 to August 31, 2023. Our ESP congress is always a great opportunity to share knowledge, promote our recent advances in the different fields of Photobiology, exchange new ideas and developing or strengthening collaborations. We are looking forward to renewing bonds with old friends and getting to know younger researchers that always participate to the ESP congresses with excitement and high-quality contributions.
The 20th Congress of the ESP will showcase the scientific activities of our thriving society through invited lectures, oral presentations, poster sessions and contributions from industrial partners.
We warmly extend the invitation to attend the congress to our sponsors.
Finally, I would like to highlight that the ESP School will take place again in Brixen/Bressanone after its cancellation two years ago due to the Pandemic. The School will run from the 22nd to the 27th of August 2022. It will be fantastic to get together again at the foot of the Tirol mountains and cast the seeds for a new generation of Photobiologists.
Amparo Faustino
ESP President
Dear members of the European Society for Photobiology, dear colleagues and friends!
With this remarkable year coming to an end, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of you for the contributions you made to photobiology and to the thriving of our Society, even in times unsecure. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused unheard-of disruptions to all aspects of our private and professional lives and it has brought to light all human strengths and weaknesses.
In such tricky times, it is only with selfless commitment, solidarity, and reason that success, stability, and development can be maintained. It was these ingredients that enabled our Society’s last year’s main success, the transfer of our Journal Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences to our new publisher Springer-Nature. It will be these ingredients that will make our forthcoming congress in Salzburg 2021, like our congresses in the past, a unique occasion for scientific and social reunion. I would like to extend a special thank you to everyone involved in these collaborative efforts.
On behalf of the ESP leadership team I wish all of you and your families happy and healthy holidays and a successful New Year.
Franz Trautinger, President, European Society for Photobiology

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Photobiology is a crucial discipline to deal with some of the most challenging problems of the 21st Century. It encompasses biological, chemical, physical, and medical sciences to investigate effects of sunlight and artificial sources of non-ionising radiation (ultraviolet, visible and infra-red) on living organisms. As such, photobiology has a vast societal impact in environmental safety, climate change, agricultural developments, and human disease. The mission of the European Society for Photobiology (ESP) is to provide a platform for scientific exchange, for a modern and relevant approach to research, for collaboration of academia and industry, and for education and training of multi-disciplinary scientists from these diverse backgrounds.

The European Society for Photobiology is pleased to announce the 2019 ESP Young Investigator Award winners Dr. Pilar Acedo (University College London) and Dr. Matteo Grattieri (University of Utah) for their research of exceptionally high quality in the field of Photobiology. The awards were presented at the World Congress on Light and Life, 25-30th August 2019, Barcelona, Spain, where the awardees gave a plenary talk.
The 20th Arnold Rikli Prize is awarded for published work on optical radiation beneficial to man.
