On behalf of the Local Organising Committee, we are delighted to invite you to the 5th Annual Conference of the Baltic Society of Extracellular Vesicles. This year’s theme, “Translational EV Research: Advances and Challenges”, reflects a pivotal stage in the extracellular vesicle field, where fundamental discoveries are increasingly moving toward clinical and industrial application.

The conference aims not only to highlight the latest scientific achievements and technological innovations in EV research but also to openly discuss the challenges, limitations, and knowledge gaps that continue to hinder scientific progress and successful translation into real-world practice. We warmly invite researchers, clinicians, industry representatives, and innovators to engage in constructive dialogue, exchange experiences, and elaborate solutions that can help move the field forward more effectively and responsibly.

Our goal is to create a collaborative environment where ideas can grow into meaningful partnerships and where discussions span from fundamental biology and analytical technologies to diagnostics, therapeutics, regenerative medicine, and personalised healthcare. Whether you are an established expert or an early-career scientist, we hope this meeting will inspire new perspectives, stimulate critical thinking, and support future collaborations.

The conference will take place in Kaunas, one of Lithuania’s leading academic and cultural centres. Beyond its vibrant scientific community, Kaunas is renowned for its remarkable interwar modernist and Art Deco architecture, recently inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. We warmly encourage you to explore the city’s unique atmosphere, historical heritage, and cultural life alongside the scientific program.

We look forward to welcoming you to Kaunas and to creating an engaging, open, and forward-looking conference experience together.
