The Exocytosis-Endocytosis Club: A Story of Passion and Scientific Excellence

For over 20 years, the Exocytosis-Endocytosis Club has been a key player in the intracellular trafficking community. Despite evolving challenges, it has endured and now brings together more than 300 members from across France and neighboring countries—scientists passionate about endocytosis and exocytosis biology, intracellular trafficking, membrane dynamics, and microscopy.

The Club was born from the merger of two groups of French cell biologists, each dedicated to the study of endocytosis and exocytosis:

Under the leadership of Thierry Galli, the first joint meeting of the Exocytosis-Endocytosis Club was held in Paris in April 2001, marking the beginning of an annual event that has since become a must-attend gathering for our scientific community. Year after year, these meetings have grown in richness and diversity, taking place in iconic locations across France and Europe:

These meetings are a testament to the vitality of our Club, the outstanding quality of research conducted within our community, and its influence beyond France’s borders.

A Promising Future Thanks to You

The Exocytosis-Endocytosis Club is as dynamic and welcoming as it is today thanks to the dedication and contributions of each of you. We are deeply grateful and excited to continue this beautiful scientific journey together.

Long live the Exocytosis-Endocytosis Club! Here’s to the next twenty years and beyond, with passion and energy!
