The Foundational Years: 2016-2018

From 2016 to 2018, the first four ICRBS conferences established our strong foundation. Held in inspiring academic cities like London, Amsterdam, and Vienna, these early meetings were crucial. They did more than just present research; they built a real community. By focusing on high-quality, double-blind peer review from the outset, we created a trustworthy space for scholars.

These foundational years brought together researchers from many different countries, who shared their ideas and built lasting connections. This friendly, professional, and reliable network set the stage for the successful global conference that ICRBS is today, ready to welcome new voices.
