摘要

The European Biophysical Societies’ Association (EBSA) is an association of 32 biophysical societies in Europe dedicated to the promotion of excellence in biophysics. Through cooperation and collaborative activities, EBSA makes a major and positive impact on the European and International biophysics community. Biennial congresses at various European locations, organized by host societies, are a major activity that engages biophysicists with the wider international scientific community. The European Biophysics Journal, EBJ, is owned by EBSA and publishes high-quality biophysics contributions from around the Globe. The inception of EBSA can be dated to 1984. Peter Bayley, President of EBSA 1990–1993 and Managing Editor, European Biophysics Journal 1984–1999, wrote a history of ‘EBSA- the early days’, which was published in the Abstract book of the 2007 EBSA Congress. In the present article we aim to update and expand the history to 2024, the 40th anniversary of EBSA, highlighting some developments and achievements of EBSA and the communities it represents.
