When and Where Is the ESB Congress (European Society of Biomechanics Congress)?
Updated
The next announced ESB Congress is the 32nd Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics, scheduled for 4–7 July 2027 in Berlin. That is the only future congress date and location currently stated on the ESB homepage (esbiomech.org). If you are planning around the ESB Congress, treat Berlin 2027 as the confirmed anchor point and check the site for registration, abstract submission and programme details as they are added.
What the ESB Congress is
The ESB Congress is the flagship academic meeting of the European Society of Biomechanics, the society founded in 1976 in Brussels by 20 scientists from 11 countries. The society describes its goal as encouraging research, disseminating knowledge and promoting progress in biomechanics, and it now reports over 1,500 members, making it the largest biomechanics society in Europe.
The congress is where those aims become concrete: researchers present work, exchange methods and build the contacts that carry biomechanics research forward between meetings.

How to follow congress updates
- Go to esbiomech.org and read the homepage banner, which carries the ESB 2027 announcement.
- Check the ESBiomech News section, where the society posts current items such as academic job openings in biomechanics — the same channel is used for society announcements.
- If you are already a member, use the Member's login page, which handles membership and subscription payments and is the natural place for member-facing congress communications.
- If you are not yet a member, the "Join the European Society of Biomechanics" link on the homepage is the entry point; membership is separate from congress registration and the site does not state that either is free.
Who should plan around it
- Researchers and PhD candidates in biomechanics who want to present work and meet the European community — the congress is the society's main annual gathering.
- Lab managers and postdocs watching the ESBiomech News job listings, since congress attendance and hiring activity tend to overlap in the same community.
- Anyone needing a fixed date: 4–7 July 2027, Berlin, is the only future congress commitment published at the time of writing.
For registration windows, abstract deadlines, fees and the full programme, the ESB homepage is the authoritative starting point; details not listed there should be treated as not yet announced.
