About Us
Being a student means also being permanently faced with minor and major problems of various kinds, decisions regarding the university of choice, special interests and ways of covering them, the critical question of "May I find a job afterwards?" and much more...Therefore gathering as much and as complete information as possible is essential. SymBioSE is the annual Symposium for Biology Students from Europe. Our main objectives are to broaden the horizons of the participating students by excursions, workshops and lectures, to connect participants by discussions and cultural exchange and to inform everybody about current university matters. The science of biology will always be the running theme, but political and ethical levels lift the focus from pure science when appropriate. SymBioSE meetings are a good occasion to exchange information and thoughts about biology, making foreign contacts and new friends.
SymBioSE was founded in 1996 by the German student association. The basic idea was to connect all European biology students, allowing for the exchange of ideas, perspectives and experiences about student concerns. This led to the first meeting in Berlin in 1997. After a successful start with 12 European nations it was continued as an annual event to be held in the different participating countries. Since then, every host country has built upon the initial framework and upgraded it with aspects of their own cultural background. Thusfar, this has resulted every time in a unique and enriching symposium.

In general, SymBioSE is not a rigid organization with a hierarchical structure. SymBioSE is a symposium that takes place once a year and aims to connect European biology students through the year by personal contact. Therefore, it is open for every student and not limited to student representatives.
