## Abstract

The 2nd MObility for Vesicle research in Europe (MOVE) Symposium, held in Belgrade—Serbia, from October 8 to 11, 2024, showcased the dynamic and interdisciplinary nature of extracellular vesicles (EVs) research in Europe. Organized by eight National EV Societies under the MOVE initiative, the event gathered over 280 attendees from 28 countries, promoting collaboration and scientific exchange. The symposium featured eight keynote lectures, 48 oral and 126 poster presentations, and sessions dedicated to EV‐related tools and industry innovations. The scientific program was structured around seven core themes: EV biogenesis and signal transmission, roles of EVs in health and disease, EV‐based biomarkers, interspecies communication, novel EV preparation and analysis techniques, therapeutic and regenerative applications, and the manufacturing of native and engineered EV products. Supported by 18 sponsors and the Ministry of science, technological development and innovation of the Republic of Serbia, the symposium also highlighted the MOVE Fellowship Program and offered rich networking opportunities. This landmark event reinforced MOVE's promising mission to promote excellence, mobility, and resource sharing in EV research across Europe.
