Welcome Address

The German Stem Cell Network (GSCN) is delighted to welcome you to the 14th GSCN Conference taking place from 09 - 11 September 2026 in the capital of Germany, Berlin. This year's event focuses on the latest frontiers of stem cell and organoid biology, embryonic and tissue-derived stem cells, bioengineering, and developmental biology at the Max Delbrück Center in Berlin.

This year, we are once again excited to unite top experts from academia, industry, and the clinic from across the country and worldwide to discuss the latest news in stem cell research. From year to year, more and more people are drawn to the key stem cell event in Germany, and we are sure that the exciting program and vibrant city of Berlin will attract many participants.

Attendees can look forward to meeting exceptional international keynote speakers, selected presentations from submitted abstracts, and a distinguished Presidential Symposium featuring our GSCN awardees for the GSCN 2026 Hilde Mangold Award, the GSCN 2026 Young Investigator Award, and the GSCN 2026 Publication of the Year Award. A comprehensive industry exhibition and dedicated sessions will provide insights into the latest developments in R&D and translational stem cell research. Expect to encounter exciting new scientific discoveries and engage in lively discussions during breaks at the two poster sessions, and at our legendary GSCN Networking Event with dinner and party.

Join us and don´t miss this unique opportunity to be part of our growing and vibrant stem cell community, enjoy networking, engage in discussions, and connect with fellow scientists and future collaborators!

A limited number of Travel Awards will be available for the GSCN conference. See our ➙ awards webpage for more information!

We are looking forward welcoming you in Berlin!
