WELCOME
Dear friends and colleagues, dear muscle aficionados,
We are pleased to announce that the 53rd European Muscle Conference 2026 will take place in Vienna, Austria at the University of Vienna.
The scientific programme will cover a broad spectrum of muscle research, ranging from molecular structure to whole body physiology and pathophysiology, with a particular focus on current advances and future directions in the field.
Keeping with the EMC tradition, we aim to provide an inspiring environment that fosters both the meeting of experts in a wide range of specialist topics and interdisciplinary dialogue. We would also like to highlight the Young Investigators Symposium, organized by the ESMR-Early Careers Association.
This symposium will offer PhD students and early-stage postdocs the unique opportunity to present and discuss their work with peers and established researchers. It will take place on the morning before the official opening of the conference.
Keynote speakers and the full scientific programme will be announced in due course. We warmly invite you to join us in Vienna for the EMC 2026 and look forward to welcoming you for an exciting and inspiring meeting.
We are pleased to announce that the 53rd European Muscle Conference 2026 is hosted by the University of Vienna and will take place University of Vienna Biology Building (UBB).
