The IUPS Beacon meetings are designed as small, focused meetings on timely topics in physiology, providing participants with an immersive and interactive environment for the exchange of scientific ideas, with a particular emphasis on supporting early-career researchers. To date, IUPS has organized Beacon Symposia in Germany (2024) and Brazil (2025). The meeting website is now open. Please visit the website for detailed information, including the scientific focus and a list of invited speakers.
