Dear Colleagues and Friends,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our distinct honor and great pleasure to welcome you to the 2 International Conference of the European Academy for Molecular Hydrogen Research in Biomedicine, titled "Molecular Hydrogen Frontiers: Powering Life Sciences".
It's hard to believe that four years have passed since the last conference in Smolenice. We continue to recall it with great appreciation as a meeting where cutting-edge science was matched by an exceptional and inspiring atmosphere created by experts in the field of molecular hydrogen. These memories accompany us as we prepare for our next gathering.
This year, we decided to welcome you to Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia. The conference will take place from November 4 to 7 , 2026, at the Hotel Park Inn by Radisson Danube. The conference is organized by the European Academy for Molecular Hydrogen Research in Biomedicine, in close collaboration with the Institute for Heart Research of the Centre of Experimental Medicine and the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Together with our international partners, we aim to provide a unique scientific forum that bridges the gap between fundamental research, clinical, and practical application.
The scientific program will highlight the expanding therapeutic potential of molecular hydrogen across various fields. We are particularly pleased to support young investigators and PhD students, for whom we have prepared special sessions and competitions to present their latest findings. The meeting will feature keynote lectures from world-renowned experts, invited talks, and oral communications selected from your submitted abstracts. Beyond the scientific sessions, we look forward to the networking opportunities during our social program, including the welcome reception and the gala dinner.
We hope that this conference will not only be a source of new scientific knowledge but also a place where lasting professional collaborations and friendships are formed. We look forward to welcoming you to the beautiful city of Bratislava!
With our best regards,

The scientific program will cover, but will not be limited to, the following topics:
-
Mechanisms of Molecular Hydrogen Biomedical Effect
-
Molecular Hydrogen – Redox Hormetic Trigger
-
Therapeutic Effects: Cells, Organs and Experimental Animals
-
Therapeutic Effects in Clinical Trials
-
Plants Physiology, Agriculture and Other Effects of Molecular Hydrogen
The conference aims to bridge the gap between world-renowned scientists, physicians, and molecular biologists, alongside with representatives from leading research institutes and clinics dedicated to the therapeutic potential of molecular hydrogen. The meeting will feature basic science and clinical sessions, including keynote lectures, invited talks, and free oral communications selected from submitted abstracts. We aim to offer ample opportunities for young investigators to present and discuss their latest results and to compete in both oral and poster sessions.
ORGANIZERS
European Academy for Molecular Hydrogen Research in Biomedicine (EUH2)
The European Academy (EUH2) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting, advancing, and disseminating scientific knowledge regarding the applications of molecular hydrogen in medicine and healthcare. The Academy serves as an international platform for research and development projects investigating the biomedical mechanisms of hydrogen and its potential in disease prevention and therapy. Key pillars of its mission include organizing scientific events, supporting the education of physicians and young researchers, promoting evidence-based scientific data, and fostering global interdisciplinary collaborations to ultimately improve patient quality of life.
The 1 Conference of the European Academy for Molecular Hydrogen Research in Biomedicine was held on October 17 – 20 2022 at the Congress Center of Slovak Academy of Sciences in Smolenice Castle, Slovakia. The meeting was organized by European Academy for Molecular Hydrogen Research in Biomedicine and Institute for Heart Research of Centre of Experimental Medicine, Slovak Academy of Sciences in cooperation with International Academy of Cardiovascular Sciences, International Society for Adaptive Medicine, Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic, and other institutions in Slovakia.

The theme of the meeting was „Hydrogen in Biomedicine“. The aim of this scientific meeting was to bring together the top scientists, research fellows and trainees from all over the world to participate in this scientific forum. During the entire 4 days, 90 participants from 15 countries around the world took part, including Canada, USA, East Jerusalem, Slovakia, Czechia, China, Japan, Russia, Ukraine, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Republic of Serbia, Republic of Korea, and India.
The conference featured a total of 42 lectures divided into 10 scientific sessions and 15 poster presentations. An online session with 11 lectures was also an important part of the scientific program. All these presentations were focused on the pluripotent effect of molecular hydrogen on health, cardio protection, cardiometabolic diseases, oxidative stress, molecular genetics, prevention, regeneration, heart failure, nutrition, ageing, COVID-19 treatment, applied aspects in cardiovascular health care delivery and many other biological effects. The entire course of the conference was broadcast live on the website of co-organizer Intercedu. There is a lot of interest in the video recording from the conference even till now. The combination of excellent speakers, thematic symposia, and the meeting place itself offered a great scientific program and a pleasant atmosphere. Despite the tight scientific schedule, there was enough space for fruitful and stimulating discussions.
Co-organizers
The scientific excellence and organizational foundation of the conference are guaranteed by close cooperation with leading academic institutions:
-
Institute for Heart Research, Centre of Experimental Medicine of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (CEM SAS): A premier Slovak research institution bringing deep expertise in experimental cardiology, physiology, and molecular biology. The institute is actively engaged in basic research on oxidative stress mechanisms and the protective effects of molecular hydrogen.
-
Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS): As the highest national scientific institution, it provides a prestigious academic framework for the event, ensuring the highest standard of the scientific program.
-
