EHPRG is a largely multidisciplinary conference of European scientists who are using high pressure in their research. The studies span an exceptionally wide range: from pure physics to material science, molecular dynamics, chemistry, food technology, bioscience and biotechnology even including some medical perspectives. The application of high pressure as physical parameter can lead to significantly new information about the studied systems. New materials with improved properties can also be created by pressure. Pressure-inactivation of various biological systems has also wide perspectives in food- bio- and medical sciences.

The 49th EHPRG conference is hosted by the Department of Biophysics and Radiation Biology of the Semmelweis University, Budapest. The University is mostly known for its outstanding activity in the education of medical students. Courses are offered in three languages: Hungarian, English and German. Students from several countries around the world come here to obtain their degree.

The conference will be held in the new university building of the basic science institutes of the Medical Faculty that was opened in 2008. This building with its big aula and full equipped lecture rooms will be an ideal place for the conference.
Budapest is a nice city with a very comfortable climate at the end of August. Walking along the Danube, the marvelous view from the Gellért-hill and the Royal-Palace are unforgettable experiences.
