The 3rd European Medical and Biological Engineering Conference EMBEC´05 will be following the very successful EMBEC´99 and EMBEC´02 that were both held in Vienna. These meetings have made a very good foundation for the periodical European regional medical and biological engineering conferences. We are extremely pleased to have been given the chance to be the first who could take over the torch and continue the tradition established in Vienna. We worked hard to prepare interesting and attractive scientific programme, which will meet the expectations of all attendees. Welcome at the third EMBEC and IFMBE European Conference on Biomedical Engineering in Prague in November 2005.
Helmut Hutten
Honorary President
Welcome in Prague to the EMBEC´05 IFMBE regional conference.
This 3rd European Medical and Biological Engineering
Conference EMBEC´05 is organized by the Czech Society for
Biomedical Engineering and Medical Informatics CSBEMI. The
scientific program represents the most relevant subdisciplines of
our field, the healthcare challenges, the emerging technologies,
and the most advanced methods. EMBEC´05 is another exciting
conference where the European MBE community meets with
colleagues and friends from many non-European countries, and it
will be a milestone in the process of MBE integration in Europe.
This process of integration is promoted by the European Alliance
for Medical and Biological Engineering and Science EAMBES.
Another important aspect for the European future is harmonization
of higher education, the so-called Bologna process, which is one
of the topics of the EMBEC´05. I wish to express my sincere gratitude
to the organizers of the EMBEC´05 for their wonderful work
and their contribution to the progress of MBE in Europe. The
EMBEC´05 takes place in Prague, the capital of Czech Republic.
The city is located in the heart of Europe and one of the most
distinguished European cities. It is famous for its history and architecture,
for its contributions to culture, science, and music.
Hopefully the participants will find some time during the conference
to discover this city and to enjoy its unique atmosphere. The
organizers have prepared an excellent sightseeing and social
program that complements the high-level scientific program.
