The first meeting of Croatian biologists was initially organized by the Croatian Biological Society in Poreč, Istria in 1981. Since then, the Society in its professional devotion to following the latest developments in the world of biology, has carefully kept alive the tradition of its Congress. Our Congresses serve the strategic decision of the Society to coordinate a central Croatian biological meeting where an atmosphere of professional and objective presentation and critical evaluation of all Croatian biology would be generated.

World biological research is producing new paradigms and profoundly changing our views on the principles of organization and function in the biological world. Therefore, Croatian Biological Congresses are an attempt to provide all of us with a unique and a complete insight into modern biology, to stimulate us to ask more courageous questions and to call us to more actively take part in one of the biggest intellectual adventures of the day - a global understanding of living matter through an integrated scientific approach.
