The Benzon Symposia are international conferences on front line research in medical, pharmaceutical and related sciences funded by the Alfred Benzon Foundation.
Each Benzon Symposium is planned and organized by one or more members of the board of trustee of the Foundation in collaboration with scientists specialized in the topics of the specific symposia.
Each Benzon Symposium features 20-25 state of the art presentations by invited scientists, shorter oral presentations selected by the organizing committee, and poster presentations selected by this committee from abstracts submitted by the participants. Normally, one symposium is held every year.

The symposia are held in Copenhagen. A maximum of 150 participants can take part in each symposium.
