2nd Polish RNA Biology Meeting
Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań
Collegium Biologicum
About the meeting
The 2nd Polish RNA Biology Meeting, which will be hosted in Poznań in 2025, follows after the very successful Polish RNA Biology Meeting that was organized in 2023 in Warsaw. We hope that in this way we start a new international conference series, which will become a regular, bi-annual event to share new ideas among RNA scientists. Our meeting will start on Tuesday, June 24, at 17:00 (registration will be opened at 15.00), and will be finished on Friday, June 27, at 13:00.
Poznań has been a major center of RNA research in Poland since the 1960s. At the beginning RNA studies in Poznań focused on tRNA structure and function, and on the chemical synthesis of ribonucleic acids. Currently, many research groups work on a range of topics related to RNA properties. RNA biology is also a major subject of studies in several other cities in Poland, while numerous Polish researchers have contributed to RNA research abroad or established their laboratories in other countries. We are convinced that the meeting will serve as a platform to stimulate new collaborations, inspire the use of advanced technologies, and encourage the participants to initiate new and challenging research directions.
Welcome to the RNA world! We promise friendly scientific atmosphere, open discussions, outstanding keynote talks of our invited guests and an opportunity to present you research results in talks or during never-ending poster sessions.

About Poznań
About Poznań

Poznań is a historic city in western Poland, which is renowned for its Renaissance-style architecture of the Old Town. The Old Market Square, with its colorful merchant houses and iconic Town Hall, is a central attraction. A popular attraction of the Poznan Town Hall are two goat figures, which are displayed at the clock tower at noon every day.
Poznań is well known for its scientific institutions. The Adam Mickiewicz University is one of the top universities in Poland. There are also several Polish Academy of Sciences institutes focused on life sciences, e.g., Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Institute of Human Genetics and Institute of Plant Genetics. Poznań is also a home to other universities in which biological studies are carried out, like the Poznan Medical University and University of Life Sciences.
The Poznań culinary scene is famous for St. Martin’s croissants (rogal świętomarciński), a local delicacy that you can taste during our meeting coffee breaks. This is another reason, apart from great science, to visit Poznań and take part in our June RNA meeting 😊.
Poznań blends tradition with modernity, making it an appealing destination for history, business, and education enthusiasts. This year in June it will host RNA fans!
