What happens when traditional Biosciences education meets innovative teaching approaches, digital technologies, and fresh perspectives? “Beyond the Textbook: Biosciences Education in the Digital Era” invites educators, early-career researchers, and PhD students to explore this question together. Organized by the Armenian Association of Biochemists and taking place on 13–14 November 2026 in Yerevan, Armenia, this FEBS Education and Training sponsored event aims to create a space where knowledge meets creativity, ideas turn into action, and new collaborations begin - helping shape the future of Biosciences education in Armenia and beyond.

What can participants expect?

The programme combines inspiring plenary talks with interactive discussions and practical workshops, addressing key topics such as:

• Redesigning Bioscience curricula for the 21st century through innovative and student-centered teaching approaches.
• Artificial intelligence and digital tools in Biosciences education.
• Developing the skills of future biochemists, including effective PhD supervision.
• Connecting education with real-world scientific challenges through clinical cases, data interpretation, and research-based learning.

Beyond the scientific and educational programme, the event will provide opportunities for networking, sharing good practices, and establishing collaborations among members of the Biosciences education community.
