XVIIth Congress of the International Society of Bone Morphometry (ISBM 2026)

XVIIth Congress of the International Society of Bone Morphometry (ISBM 2026) is organized by International Society of Bone Morphometry (ISBM) and will be held from Jul 04 - 07, 2026 at Queen Mary University of London, London, England, United Kingdom.

Description:
We are delighted to welcome the ISBM community to London for the 2026 congress. Together with the local organizing team of Stefaan Verbruggen and Saravana Ramasamy, and Scientific Program Committee led by Aline Bozec, we are shaping an exciting and comprehensive scientific program that spans the full breadth of bone morphometry and skeletal imaging. The meeting will encompass established and emerging approaches from histomorphometry and micro?CT to spatial omics, advanced microscopy, and computational methods with sessions designed to inspire learning, stimulate discussion, and showcase excellence across our field.

A defining feature of ISBM meetings is their collegial and interactive environment, and the 2026 congress will be no exception. In addition to plenary, keynote, and platform presentations, the program includes poster sessions and dedicated training workshops led by academic and industry experts, providing valuable opportunities for skill development and scientific exchange. Supporting early?career investigators and fostering inclusive participation across career stages remain central priorities of the Society.

Goals of the ISBM 2026 Meeting

• Provide a forum to discuss both conventional and novel morphometry-based approaches
• Implement training workshops lead by academic and industry experts
• Support career development of junior investigators and promote scientists from underrepresented groups
• Discuss standards for open data sharing of established and emerging morphometric techniques
