About our Journal Meetings

The teams behind our journals bring you the most relevant and challenging topics for discussion, through a series of international meetings.

Important meetings serving the communities around our journals.

Each meeting is individually crafted to suit the topic and audience, ranging from small intimate meetings with a focus on intense and detailed discussion, to larger meetings with a focus on networking and opportunities for attendees to more widely share their latest research.

Themes explored in the Journal Meetings go on to be discussed in our journals, helping to shape the field and even the journals themselves.

What happens at a Journal Meeting organised by The Company of Biologists?

Who better to tell you than someone who has been to one? Antonio Barral Gil, a PhD student at The Spanish Center for Cardiac Research in Madrid, attended Development’s Meeting “From stem cells to human development” in September 2018.
