We are pleased to announce the 6^th European Meeting on Planarian Biology that is going to take place from October 13^th to 15^th, 2024, at Hotel Cap Roig in Platja d’Aro, Catalonia. In line with previous editions, such as EMPB2022, the aim of the meeting is to bring together the European planarian research community to discuss recent advances in flatworm biology, to exchange tips and tricks and to strengthen the links and collaborations between all labs. Talks by postdocs and graduate students will be an integral part of the program (see below), as well as plenty of time for discussion, poster sessions, round-table sessions and simply time for socializing by the sea.
