KBC DAYS 2026 with the main scientific theme "&lt;strong&gt;Dynamic Worlds: Responses and Transformations from Molecules to Landscapes&lt;/strong&gt;" will take place on &lt;strong&gt;10-11 November 2026&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;save the date&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the scientific theme &lt;em&gt;Dynamic Worlds&lt;/em&gt;, we invite participants to explore how systems across scales&amp;mdash;from atoms, molecules and cells to organisms, ecosystems, and landscapes&amp;mdash;sense, respond to, and are transformed by internal and external excitations. Beyond time resolved change, dynamics is understood here as the interplay of interactions, constraints, and signals that shape systems across scales.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dynamic Worlds&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;provides a unifying framework for interdisciplinary research within the Chemical Biological Centre, fostering dialogue across life&amp;nbsp;and materials&amp;nbsp;sciences. By highlighting shared mechanisms and consequences of change in complex systems, the theme aims to inspire new connections, perspectives, and collaborations across&amp;nbsp;different&amp;nbsp;research fields.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stay tuned for more information and the programme.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Registration to open in September 2026.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Contact:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="mailto:info.kbc@umu.se"&gt;info.kbc@umu.se&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More information:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find our more about the &lt;a href="/link/69e360b5484d4a789f2b785e0ddb09c2.aspx"&gt;Chemical Biological Centre&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="/link/5ca72b356e434b259edad4384bc4563b.aspx"&gt;former KBC DAYS conferences&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Organiser: Chemical Biological Centre (KBC)&lt;/p&gt;</atom:content><place>Carl Kempe salen, KBC building</place><type>Conference</type><link>https://www.umu.se/en/events/kbc-days-2026_12170283/</link><startdatum>2026-11-10T09:00:00+01:00</startdatum><slutdatum>2026-11-11T17:00:00+01:00</slutdatum></item><item xml:base="en/events/hanna-axen-physical-geography2_12181978/"><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.umu.se/en/events/hanna-axen-physical-geography2_12181978/</guid><title>Hanna Axén, Physical geography</title><description>Carbon cycling of northern headwater streams – Resolving spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers in a changing landscape.</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0100</pubDate><atom:content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Carbon cycling of northern headwater streams &amp;ndash; Resolving spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers in a changing landscape.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Supervisor: Daniel Metcalfe.&lt;/p&gt;</atom:content><place>Stora hörsalen, KBC (KBE303).</place><type>Defence of doctoral thesis</type><link>https://www.umu.se/en/events/hanna-axen-physical-geography2_12181978/</link><startdatum>2026-11-20T09:00:00+01:00</startdatum><slutdatum>2026-11-20T13:00:00+01:00</slutdatum></item></channel></rss>
