2022 marks the 30th anniversary of the Institut de Biologie Structural and it was celebrated on June 16, 2022. For this special occasion, our annual scientific day took place in the Minactec amphitheater with retrospectives to honor three decades of achievement, as well as a part dedicated to current issues and perspectives. A particular focus was presented on crystallography (after a focus on NMR in 2019 and electron microscopy in 2021). In order to share these presentations with our academic and industrial partners, videos of some key moments were put online on the IBS Youtube channel.
