Get to know Barcelona
We are pleased to welcome you to the 7th NF-κB International Congress in the vibrant city of Barcelona. As a hub of science, culture, and Mediterranean charm, Barcelona offers a unique setting for researchers and clinicians from across Europe and around the world to connect, exchange ideas, and advance our shared understanding of NF-κB biology.
Beyond the scientific sessions, we invite you to experience the spirit of the city itself.

Its culinary scene—rooted in Mediterranean traditions and open to global influences—offers the perfect backdrop for informal networking and meaningful conversations.
Barcelona has long been a crossroads of art, innovation, and science, and continues to grow as a center for biomedical research and international collaboration. We hope this congress will not only enrich your scientific journey, but also offer moments of connection and inspiration in one of Europe’s most captivating cities.
