Ladies and Gentlemen,
In modern healthcare, the quality of patient care is significantly influenced by technological progress. Biomedical engineering is the discipline at the foundation of the entire range of health technologies, and thus contributes to maintaining health for the European citizens. The interdisciplinary cooperation of physicians,
engineers, and scientists opens up new possibilities in
both, medical diagnosis and treatment, as well as disease prevention and rehabilitation. One of the biggest challenges in biomedical engineering is the translation of research into medical devices that show a clear clinical benefit for the patient and the care system as a whole. In addition, new technological approaches must be transferred into successful commercialisation. One of the current “hot topics” in biomedical engineering are personalised medical devices. Prominent examples are customized implants, individualised telecare approaches, or image-guided individualized intervention and disease staging. However, to translate and to transfer these concepts into clinical
applications and medical products various hurdles have to
be overcome.
It is the focus of this event:
- to demonstrate that biomedical engineering is an innovative area of R&D that offers a high medical and commercial potential,
- to identify the support that is needed to successfully translate and transfer research into medical products,
- to discuss how biomedical engineering can play a significant role within EU innovation policy.
In the light of the current challenges of health systems, in particular the demographic change and increasing costs, it will be of high importance to fully utilize the potential of technological innovation for the benefit of the individual patient. We are looking forward to an exciting discussion about the European perspective
on biomedical engineering.

Event Flyer You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
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).
