Social Events

Science is better when shared – join us beyond the conference halls.

The EUBS Annual Scientific Meeting brings together experts in underwater and hyperbaric medicine from across the world. But the best conversations often happen outside the lecture rooms.

Throughout the conference, several social events will offer opportunities to connect, relax, and experience the unique atmosphere of Geneva.

From morning runs along the lake to evening gatherings with colleagues, these moments are designed to bring the community together.

Deep Breath & Run

Before diving into a full day of science, it’s time to surface for a moment.

Join the Deep Breath & Run Club, an informal morning run designed for congress participants who want to wake up the body and clear the mind before the sessions begin.

We’ll run together through the beautiful lakeside paths of Geneva, with views of Lake Geneva, the Jet d’Eau, and the Alps slowly appearing on the horizon.

No competition. No pressure. Just fresh air, good energy, and great company.

Whether you’re a regular runner or simply looking for a dynamic start to the day, this is the perfect way to connect with fellow participants — one stride at a time.

So lace up your shoes, take a deep breath…
and run with the EUBS community.
