Welcome to EuroCarb17

We are pleased to announce and welcome you to the 17th European Carbohydrate Symposium (Eurocarb 17) that will be held during 7 to 11 July 2013, in Tel Aviv, Israel at the David Intercontinental hotel and convention center which is footsteps away from the famous sunny Mediterranean beaches of the city.

Eurocarb 17 in Tel Aviv aims to introduce the latest and emerging trends in all aspects of chemistry, biochemistry, biology, technology and medical applications of carbohydrates. Eurocarb 17 offers a wonderful opportunity for scientists from all relevant fields to be updated with the current state of the art and to encourage future innovation and collaborations between scientists from the various disciplines of the glycosciences.

The Conference will include sessions on glyco-chemistry and biochemistry; methods for carbohydrate structural analysis; glycobiology and glycomedicine and glyco-biotechnology.

We particularly encourage young researchers to join and present their work, and enjoy the scientific environment and the opportunity to meet with their fellow scientists. The scientific committee will leave open slots to be assigned to young scientists.


Tel-Aviv is Israel’s major metropolis and the country’s business, cultural and entertainment center with thriving technological and hi-tech centers located in its suburbs. The international airport is an easy 30 minutes commute from Tel-Aviv and the city offers a wide range of hotel accommodations to satisfy all tastes.

The unique Bauhaus building style of Tel-Aviv has earned it the "White City" title and from 2003, declared a world heritage site by UNESCO.
