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.

Even though it was posponed for two times due to the COVID19 pandemics since 2020, it was finally possible to gather the planarian community on this event. The 5^th European Meeting on Planarian Biology took place from October 2^nd to 4^th, 2022, at Hotel Eden Roc in Sant Feliu de Guixols, Catalonia.

The 4th European Meeting on Planarian Biology (EMPB2016) took place from September 25th to 27th, 2016, at Hotel Eden Roc in Sant Feliu de Guixols, Catalonia. The meeting continued the tradition of the Münster meeting in 2010, the Kyoto meeting in 2011, the Dresden meeting in 2013, and the planarian workshop within the ISFB at Oxford in 2015.
