IBBS has been holding its triennial symposia since 1968 in Southampton, UK with subsequent meetings at various venues in the UK but internationally in the USA, Canada, Czech Republic, Poland and Austria amongst others.  In 2024 we return to Berlin where we held the 4th Symposium in 1978.

IBBS19 will address a broad range of research on biodeterioration and biodegradation of various man-made and natural materials and products that are of economic and cultural importance.  For further information see https://ibbs19.org.
