The inaugural symposium of the UK biocondensates network took place on 11-12 December 2025 in Sheffield (the Edge, University of Sheffield). This 2-day, in-person only conference attracted ~120 researchers working on condensates across scales and disciplines – including physics, mathematics, engineering, chemistry and biology. We heard talks from all career stages, including two keynote presentations from Prof Jernej Ule (KCL/Francis Crick Institute) and Prof Tuomas Knowles (Cambridge) and 7 other invited talks, as well as several short talks and flash talks from ECRs. The symposium featured sessions on Theory and modelling, Molecular grammar of condensates and Condensates in cells and disease, as well as a workshop on bridging theory and practice in condensate research. This conference brought together, for the first time, the diverse community of researchers interested in the (emergent) properties of condensates and their components.
