You can submit your abstract for a poster or oral presentation via NWO biophysics website (heading Abstracts). Abstracts ca be max. 300 words. When submitting your abstract, you have to choose a theme that applies to your research, the six themes are described on our website.
The programme committee will subsequently make a selection of the abstracts. In August, all authors will receive notice whether or not their abstract has been selected for an oral presentation.
The programme committee strives for a well-balanced and diverse programme with high quality talks. The following criteria will be taken into consideration during the selection of the abstracts:
- Quality of the abstract.
- Oral presentations are given by academic researchers. PhD students and Postdocs are prioritised during the selection.
- The programme committee takes into account if the first authors have already presented their work before at NWO Biophysics.
- The programme committee aims for a well-balanced programme that represents the variety of research groups in the Netherlands. Therefore, the number of abstracts selected from the same group will be limited.
If your abstract is not selected for an oral presentation, we will invite you for a poster presentation. The three best posters will be awarded a poster prize sponsored by the Society for Biophysics and Biomedical Technology.
Please note that you have to register for the conference independently from your abstract submission. Registration for NWO Biophysics opens in June and will close 5 September 2023, 14.00 hours CEST.

Report Dutch Biophysics 2020
- Published Date10 October 2020
Dutch Biophysics 2020, on October 5 and 6 was for the first time in history DIGITAL and it was a great success. More than 400 researchers took part in the conference. This conference is co-organized by NWO Domain Science (ENW), the Netherlands Society for Microscopy, the Dutch Society of Cell Biology and the Society for Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering (BIOPM).
BIOPM sponsored two key prizes: the poster prize and the annual thesis prize.
The Thesis Prize for the best PhD thesis in Biophysics or Biomedical Engineering 2020 was awarded to João Silva for his thesis “Towards the physiologically relevant state with high-resolution solid state NMR”. He defended his thesis cum laude at the University of Utrecht on 13 November 2019 and is now working at MIT.
Thesis award winner 2020: Joao Medeiros Silva
Poster Prizes for the best posters at the conference 2020.
The best posters were selected in a two-step process. First a shortlist was made from votes by attendees in the conference app, from this shortlist a jury selected the top 3. All posters were of high quality, so choosing was not easy, but a top 3 selection had te be made.
The Poster Prize for the best poster at the conference was awarded to Lucia Baldauf (TU Delft) “Teamwork in motor protein filaments”. The second price was for Rob de Haas (Wageningen University and Research), the third price for Oane Gros (University Utrecht).
Congratulations to all the prize winners!

DutchBiophysics with joined BIOPM meeting 2020 GOES DIGITAL
- Published Date29 May 2020
NWO has decided to go digital this year with DutchBiophysics 2020 and for the success of our event we need your input. The organisation acts in line with the measures the government takes to deal with the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, as the measures after 1 September are still unclear, we are going digital.
The organisation will do its utmost to present you with an equally exciting and inviting digital programme. We are currently in the process of finding the right platform, necessities, tools etc. to achieve this, but one thing is certain we need your input in the form of abstracts for oral presentations in order to make DutchBiophysics 2020 happen. The selected oral presentations will be included in the digital DutchBiophysics programme in parallel sessions similar to the previous editions but now via an online platform.
DutchBiophysics is organised and sponsored by NWO Domain Science (ENW), in co-operation with the Netherlands Society for Microscopy, the Society for Biophysics and Biomedical Technology, and the Dutch Society of Cell Biology.
