The European Biological Rhythms Society (EBRS) is a scientific organization dedicated to the study of biological rhythms, including circadian, seasonal, and other time-based physiological processes in living organisms. Founded in 2005, the society serves as a hub for chronobiologists, or scientists who study biological rhythms and their effects on living organisms, across Europe and more broadly across the world. It hosts international congresses biennially to present advancements in chronobiology and continues a tradition of organized biological rhythms research in Europe that dates back to the 1970s, with roots in the earlier European Pineal Study Group. EBRS is also known for awarding prominent lectureships and honors to recognize outstanding contributions to the field. It is a unique society that has developed overtime as the field of biological rhythms has evolved. EBRS functions to connect scientists and enthusiasts within the field, as well as other societies, contributing to the future of chronobiological sciences.
