Venue

IPS2025 will take place in the Hotel Atlântico Búzios, which is conveniently located in the central area of Búzios, with easy access to restaurants, shops, transport to beaches and local accommodations. The venue is equipped with conference rooms, areas for poster presentations and a foyer where people can interact and have discussions.

For those who wish to stay at The Atlântico hotel, it has 172 comfortable rooms, swimming pool, gym and bar among other amenities. For more on Hotel Atlântico Búzios, access: https://www.atlanticobuzios.com.br/

IPS2025 has secured a promotional price for attendees during the 5 days of the conference. To book a room in the Hotel Atlântico, go to the registration page. Only 110 double rooms are available at the special rate, so be sure to book early to guarantee a room.

Búzios has a tropical climate and temperatures tend to vary between 21-27 °C in the month of October. Ocean breezes are common all year round but are more frequent and stronger during the winter. It is located 173 km east of the City of Rio de Janeiro, with approximately 40,000 inhabitants. Originally, a small remote fishermen village, Búzios remained almost unknown until 1964, when the French actress Brigitte Bardot visited the village and, enchanted by its natural beauties, announced it to the world. Since then, the town grew, first as a prime destination for Rio’s high society and eventually growing into an international tourist destination. Today, Búzios is a worldwide tourist site, receiving annually 670,000 Brazilian visitors and 320,000 international visitors. To experience its charm, just walk along the vibrant Rua das Pedras, full of shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and galleries.

General Information

The International Proteolysis Society aims to promote knowledge on the role of proteolysis in all aspects of biological and biomedical research, assembling a wide audience of experts and promoting the training of young scientists in the field. The biennial Meeting of IPS brings together the global scientific community working on proteases, their substrates, and inhibitors, and is a must attend event since 1999. 

Highlighted themes include: ageing, cancer, protein turnover and degradation, blood, immunity, infections, neurobiology, metabolism, therapeutic targets, structural biology and much more!

The conference will bring together researchers at various career stages and industry representatives across the field of proteolysis. The 5-day event will include the latest developments in basic and translational research involving proteases including cell biology, structure, biochemistry, new therapeutic approaches for human diseases and state of the art technologies.

IPS2025 will represent a key opportunity for interaction across borders and research fields to enhance knowledge in proteolysis in biological and biomedical sciences, providing exciting opportunities for international collaboration.

IPS2025 will be held in the coastal town of Armação dos Búzios, situated in the State of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, just 173 km from the international airport of the city of Rio de Janeiro.  Búzios is a beautiful tourist village, located in the tropical zone of the South American subcontinent, bathed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, with 23 beaches.
