5th Euro BioMAT - European Symposium and Exhibition on Biomaterials and Related Areas

Dipl.-Ing. Fahima Fischer Pressereferat
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde e.V.

    08 - 09 May 2019, Weimar, Thuringia (Germany)

    Based on the huge success of the previous four Euro BioMAT Symposia 2011 in Jena and in 2013, 2015 and 2017 in Weimar this international conference will be held every two years in the Jena-Weimar region.

    The symposium Euro BioMAT 2019, 08.-09. May 2019, addresses the growing interest of science and industry in the different aspects of the creation, characterization, testing and application of biomaterials and closely related areas.

    The motivation is not only the recent scientific progress and new challenges of this exciting, strongly interdisciplinary field of science and engineering. Materials scientists, physicists, chemists, biologists in industrial R&D as well as medical professionals are increasingly facing situations, where materials are confronted with high performance requirements and a challenging biological environment at the same time.

    Much of the growth in the area of biomaterials emerged in the USA and Asia over the last years, but Europe is gaining ground with a fast and steady growth in this field. The German Materials Society (DGM) and its panel of experts in biomaterials address these developments with the Euro BioMAT 2019 in Weimar. Euro BioMAT 2019 will present and discuss the current state of progress and novel trends in development, characterization, application, testing and modelling of biomaterials in basic science and industry. In addition, this symposium will bring together experts in closely related areas, such as biomimetics, biomineralization and biopolymers.

    The organizers at the DGM feel a need to serve the European biomaterials community beyond other European and world biomaterials congresses with a compact two-day meeting which brings together fascinating science and stimulating people in a delightful setting in historic Weimar in the very heart of Europe. The programme of the Euro BioMAT 2019 will comprise several invited plenary lectures as well as oral and poster presentations. The organizers look forward receiving many contributions to the Euro BioMAT 2019.

    The following matters will be discussed:

    Structure and properties of biomaterials
    • Bioactive materials, bioglass and calciumphosphates
    • Biodegradable materials
    • Bioinspired materials / biomimetic materials
    • Biological materials and biomineralization
    • Computational biomaterials science
    • Hydrogels and biobased polymers
    • Imaging of biomaterials

    Biological response to biomaterials
    • Biofilms & antimicrobial biomaterials
    • Biocompatibility
    • Biointerfaces and microenvironments
    • Clinical performance of biomaterials
    • Multi-functional biomaterials


    Biomaterials applications
    • Current and future challenges for the MedTech industry
    • Dental materials
    • Drug and gene delivery
    • Innovation in fabrication including 3D printing / additive manufacturing of biomaterials
    • Responsive and smart biomaterials
    • Tissue engineering / regenerative medicine

    Biopolymer-based biomaterials
    • Special Session „Biopolymer-based biomaterials“

    In particular young scientists are very welcome to actively contribute to the conference by submitting an abstract.

    Combination of search terms

    You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

    Brackets

    You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

    Phrases

    Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

    Selection criteria

    You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

    If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
