Host Venue & City

ESBB and BBMRI-ERIC are delighted to be holding the 2024 Congress in Vienna, Austria. Located in the centre of Europe, there are easy transport links to the city and accommodation within walking or short public transport distance. BBMRI-ERIC is celebrating ten years of operation and with Austria as the hosting country for the organisation, it is an appropriate location for this milestone event.

Vienna is one of the most popular congress cities in the world, a home to one of four major United Nations offices, world music capital, business and financial centre, and cultural interface. The Hofburg Vienna is situated in direct proximity to some of Vienna’s most famous sights as well as the shopping districts, hotels and restaurants of Vienna’s Old Town.
