  • IUPB Congress in Perth, Australia (August 25–30): The SFPb actively participated in this international congress by organizing two symposia: "Photoreactivity of biomolecules: diversity of mechanisms" and "Quantum efficiency of photobiological processes."

  • A joint symposium was organized by the Photochemistry, Photophysics and Photosciences subdivision (SP2P, Physical Chemistry Division, SCF) and the French Society for Photobiology (SFPb). It was held in Grenoble from May 21 to 23, 2024.
     

2023

  • The SFPb, along with its President Thierry Douki, organized the 20th Congress of the European Society for Photobiology in Lyon (France), at the National Institute of Applied Sciences (Institut National des Sciences Appliquées), from August 27 to 31, 2023. SFPb members played an active role by organizing various symposia: https://photobiolyon.sciencesconf.org/?lang=en

  • A joint congress between the French Society for Photobiology, the French Society for Photodermatology, and the Skin Carcinogenesis Group took place in Rennes on June 21, 22, and 23, 2023. See the website.

  • The 2023 Scientific Day was organized by the French Society for Photobiology with the support of the GDR "Integrative Biology of CO2 capture" on January 24, 2023, at the FIAP in Paris. Two main topics were addressed: "Photo-induced processes in aquatic photosynthetic organisms" and "Ultra-fast spectroscopy in photobiology" (See the program). Nearly 90 participants engaged in numerous high-quality discussions.
     

2022

The French Society for Photodermatology, the French Society for Photobiology, and the Skin Oncology Group of the SFD organized an online meeting on February 2 and 3, 2022 (website, program). Various sessions covering a wide range of topics were offered, each viewed by approximately 80 people.
 

2021

A joint symposium between GDR Happy Bio, the SFPb, and the French-Speaking Society of Medical Photonics was held from November 24 to 26, 2021, in Toulouse. Over a hundred participants attended. The presentations mainly focused on plasmas, electric fields, and photodynamic therapy. One session was organized by the SFPb.
 

2019

The SFPb organized a scientific conference entitled "Photobiology Under the Sun" (Photobiologie sous le Soleil). It was held from November 27 to 29, 2019, at the Jussieu campus in Paris, with support from Sorbonne University and L’Oréal. Four main topics were highlighted:

  • Photochemistry of biomolecules: theory and spectroscopy

  • Light perception and harvesting in photosynthetic organisms

  • Human photobiology in natural environments

  • Photomedicine (Links to the program and abstracts)
     

2017

The symposium "DNA repair, Repair Syndromes and Radiation Biology," sponsored by the SFPb, was organized on September 18, 2017, at the Curie Institute in Paris, in tribute to Ethel Moustacchi, who passed away on December 13, 2016. (See the announcement and program)

The Photobiology and Photodermatology Conference took place from June 14 to 16, 2017, in Antony. It was organized by the French Society for Photobiology and the French Society for Photodermatology. June 14 was dedicated to Photobiology, with the morning session entitled "Blue Light and Health" and the afternoon session dedicated to "Uveal Melanoma." June 15 focused on sun protection and photoprotection, while June 16 was entirely dedicated to photodermatology. You can consult the program and the congress website.
 

2016

The first congress of the Italian and French Societies for Photobiology, the Italian Photochemistry Group, and the French Photochemistry, Photophysics and Photosciences Group (SIFB, SFPb, GIF, GFP2P) was held in Bari (Italy) from September 19 to 22, 2016. (See the book of abstracts)
