Every year, our Annual Conference is a flagship event with first-class physiology, exciting Prize Lectures and unmissable networking opportunities. Physiology 2021 is no exception.

This will be an innovative online event for members and the broader physiology community, with hundreds of fellow physiologists from around the world joining us 12 – 16 July for the best and most exciting in current physiological research.

Across the five-day scientific programme, you will hear from world-leading physiologists discussing their latest research. With our inspirational Prize Lectures, symposia and workshops, our conference will feature physiology from across our Scientific Themes. “The Annual Conference is the highlight of The Society’s year. Physiology 2021 will be my first annual conference as President and I’m looking forward to welcoming physiologists from across the world for a truly global celebration of cutting-edge science.” – Professor David Paterson, President of The Physiological Society and Head of Department, Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics at the University of Oxford, UK.

Although continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic mean we are not able to meet in Birmingham as originally planned, the technology for this online event will provide opportunities for real-time feedback and discussions, and small-group networking, which is often missing from online events.

All scientific talks will be recorded and available on demand in the platform, allowing you to watch multiple sessions up to 30 days after the conference has ended. You will also be able to connect with people before, during and after the conference.

“Physiology 2021 is an incredibly important conference for all physiologists. The online platform makes it really easy to network with colleagues from across the world. After what has been a tough period for us all, I’m looking forward with pleasure to the community coming together.” – Dr Sue Deuchars, Chair of Conferences Committee and Director of Research, School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Leeds, UK.

A key component of any Society meeting is the oral and poster communications showcasing the latest research often from early career researchers. There are 126 oral communications and two sessions of ePosters at the conference. Another positive for this online conference is that the ePoster showcase, with its multimedia-rich ePosters and three-minute flash talks, will be available before and after the conference too.

”The Society’s conferences are always a lot of fun as well as great for getting early eyes on research. Thanks to The Society for holding this online as it would have been a shame to let another conference slip away this year,” Bernard Drumm, Dundalk Institute of Technology, Ireland.
