San Sebastián to host two leading scientific events showcasing research and equality in February

Donostia San Sebastián Turismoa (DSST) wishes to highlight two events featuring knowledge, research and scientific dissemination from among the different ones to be held in the city in February, and which will strengthen the positioning of the destination as a place for scientific exchange.

From 25 to 27 February 2026, the Miramar Palace will host ‘Self-Assembled Hybrid Materials in Nanomedicine: From Non-Viral Vectors to Cancer Therapy and Neurostimulation’, the international congress organised by CIC biomaGUNE.

International experts in nanomedicine will gather together to analyse the latest advances in self-assembled hybrid materials, with applications in strategic areas such as non-viral vectors, cancer therapies and neurostimulation. This congress will position San Sebastián as a meeting point for the international scientific community and bolster its biomedical research ecosystem.

On the 3 February, Donostia Turismoa will then be sponsoring one of the activities on the Emakumeak Zientzian programme, an initiative that has been driving more equalitarian and inclusive science for ten years.

The ‘Past and Present Women Scientists’ talk, which will be held in the Club Room at the Victoria Eugenia Theatre from 6.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m., will consider the role of women in science over time, highlighting both their historical contributions and current challenges in the field of research.

These two events reflect Donostia / San Sebastián’s comment to generating knowledge, scientific excellence and equality, furthering its attraction as a destination for conferences, congresses and meetings linked to dissemination and academia.
