From 6th to 9th May 2025, the 18th annual meeting of the Scandinavian Society for Biomaterials (ScSB) was held at the historic Vanajanlinna mansion, located in the peaceful countryside near Hämeenlinna, Southern Finland. Organised by Tampere University, the conference gathered early-career and senior researchers working in the field of biomaterials to share ideas, discuss recent advances, and foster collaboration under the theme “Shaping the Future with Biomaterials.” In this report, one of the organisers and one of the participants, both early-career researchers, reflect on the scientific highlights and memorable moments from ScSB 2025
