The 21st IUPAB/62nd BSJ Congress took place at Kyoto ICC from June 24th 28th June 2024 – a handful of attendees also attended the 6th IUPAB congress in Kyoto in 1978. The event was organized by the Biophysical Society of Japan (BSJ) with the theme ‘Rocking Out Biophysics’, with the aim of “…..shaking up and creating new biophysics together.” 

The congress was attended by just under 2000 delegates from 52 countries, with over 1045 poster presentations and 32 sessions. Among the highlights of the congress were the named IUPAB Plenary Lectures, IUPAB Awards, the IUPAB General Assembly, and the selection of the location of the 2030 triennial 23rd IUPAB congresses. 

Manuel Prieto (IUPAB President, 2021-2024) and the Chairman of the Organizing Committee Hiroyuki Noji (Tokyo University, Japan) opened the congress (YouTube video here) during which one of the several “Rock sessions” took place. At the closing ceremony, chaired by Anthony Watts (IUPAB President, 2024-2027) and Noji-san, also had a “rock” theme and over 100 poster awards were made.
