The RBC is a series of biennial symposia intended to bring together biophysics researchers from Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Serbia,
Slovenia and Slovakia (a new member from 2010), and also includes
internationally renowned guest speakers.
The first RBC meeting took place in March 2005 in Terme Zrece (Slovenia), the second one was held in August 2007 in Balatonfüred (Hungary), and the third one in February 2009 in Linz (Austria).
The principal aims of the conference are: 1) to strengthen the collaborative ties between biophysics groups in the region, 2) to present the cutting-edge achievements from a broad range of biophysics disciplines to students, and 3) to promote the field of biophysics.
