On December 31, 2025, the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) announced its "Key Academic Conferences List (2025)." Among the selected were three conferences organized by the Biophysical Society of China (BSC): the 21st Biophysics Congress, the 2025 Metabolic Biology-Cell Press Joint Conference and the 8th Academic Symposium of the Metabolic Biology Branch of the BSC, and the 4th National Symposium on Biomolecular Phase Separation and Phase Transition and the Annual Meeting of the Biomolecular Phase Separation and Phase Transition Branch of the BSC. These selections highlight the society's leading role in organizing high-level academic exchanges and advancing the frontiers of the discipline.

The three selected conferences cover foundational, interdisciplinary, and hot topics in biophysics, showcasing China's academic vitality and innovative capabilities in this domain:

·The 21st Biophysics Congress, the largest and most influential comprehensive academic event in China's biophysics field, continues to provide a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and the cultivation of innovative talent.

·The 2025 Metabolic Biology-Cell Press Joint Conference and the 8th Academic Symposium of the Metabolic Biology Branch focus on the frontiers of metabolic science, deepening collaboration with top international publishing institutions and supporting China's metabolic biology research on the global stage.

·The 4th National Symposium on Biomolecular Phase Separation and Phase Transition and the Annual Meeting of the Biomolecular Phase Separation and Phase Transition Branch address emerging hot topics in life sciences, promoting basic and translational research in the field of biomolecular phase transitions and fostering in-depth academic community exchanges.

The CAST's "Key Academic Conferences List" aims to select high-quality academic meetings with academic leadership, forward-looking perspectives, and brand influence, guiding scientists towards high-level academic exchanges. The inclusion of these three conferences is both a recognition of the BSC's academic organizational efforts and a reflection of the vigorous development and broad influence of China's biophysics and related interdisciplinary fields.

Looking ahead, the BSC will continue to play a leading academic role, building high-level, international, and interdisciplinary platforms for academic exchange, promoting the emergence of original scientific research, and contributing to the high-quality development and technological self-reliance and strength of China's life sciences sector.
