The European Biological Inorganic Chemistry Conference, or EUROBIC , is a biannual conference on Bioinorganic chemistry founded in 1992 that showcases the best work in bioinorganic chemistry. The conference is held in Europe but attracts scientists from all over the world. EUROBIC was the result of a merger of the Swiss-Italian SIMBIC conference and the French-German SAMBAS conference. The aim is to create a forum and promote collaboration between scientists in the highly multidisciplinary field of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, ranging from biology to
inorganic chemistry Inorganic chemistry deals with synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compounds. This field covers chemical compounds that are not carbon-based, which are the subjects of organic chemistry. The distinction between the two disci ...
. Since 1994 (EUROBIC-2), the European Medal for Bio-Inorganic Chemistry, also called the EUROBIC award, is presented in conjunction with the conference, customary as part of the closing ceremony.


European Medal for Bio-Inorganic Chemistry

The European Medal for Bio-Inorganic Chemistry, also called the EUROBIC Medal or EUROBIC Award, was founded after the first European Biological Inorganic Chemistry Conference (EUROBIC-1), held in Newcastle, UK, in 1992. In 1993 a basic endowment was raised and is kept by the Royal Society of Chemistry. The medal has since been presented in conjunction with the

conferences, held every second year. The selection committee is assembled by the EUROBIC secretary and consists of senior bioinorganic scientists from 6-10 different countries in Europe. The award is presented to a European scientist, or a scientist with a career in Europe, for "Excellence and Impact in the field" of Bioinorganic chemistry. From 2008 the award is intended to be primarily dedicated to young or mid-career scientists in the field.
