Are you working on the investigations on biological effects of optical radiation in relation to human beings? Why not applying to the 22. Arnold Rikli Award (10.000 € for the year 2025)?

Please follow the @paneucopt.bsky.social account, a great @costprogramme.bsky.social Action full of scientific and societal promises thanks to #photodynamic effects 🥰 It is led by @biankas.bsky.social and has already many talented members 👍🌞

Do not hesitate to contact us or tag us if you want us to help disseminating news about all fields and events of #photobiology!

One of the core goals of the ESP is to promote photobiology and all the scientific activities related to photobiology among its community and the public.

Tell them how much the European Society for Photobiology is great 😍

The #photobiology community is mourning the passing of Allen Miller (1938–2025) Founder of the Sunshine Health Foundation (SHF) passed away on August 25, 2025. Allen built a lasting legacy in advancing public understanding of the benefits of non-burning UV exposure.

Passing the exam will entitle students to apply for the ESP supplement to the Ph.D. Degree. www.photobiology.eu/esp-suppleme...

The next #PhotobiologySchool of the @photobiologyeurope.bsky.social will be in June 15-20, 2026 in beautiful Bressanone / Brixen More info here: www.photobiology.eu/photobiology...

From August 24–28 2025, the 21st Congress of the European Society for Photobiology (ESP) took place in Bari. The congress provided an opportunity for exchanging ideas, fostering stimulating discussions, and building new collaborations. @photobiologyeurope.bsky.social

Plants require sunlight to survive, yet excessive exposure can cause photodamage. Luckily a photoprotective "switch" triggers the conversion of excess solar energy to harmless heat. Nicoletta Liguori @icfo.eu will research the mechanics involved. 👉 buff.ly/yV0qmpN @nikinikki87.bsky.social
