The main objective of the conference is to present the latest achievements of researchers from Poland, the Baltic Sea region, and other parts of the world in the field of biomedical engineering as an interdisciplinary research area. This international scientific event focuses on a wide range of biomedical engineering subdisciplines that integrate engineering, natural and medical sciences to develop and implement new technologies, devices and theoretical tools to support medical diagnostics and treatment.
The interdisciplinary nature of the conference will foster the exchange of perspectives and the integration of achievements and research methods from various scientific fields. Bringing together experts from diverse disciplines—including biomedical engineering, materials science, robotics, electronics, computer science, biology, chemistry and medicine—will create a unique platform for establishing multidisciplinary collaborations. This extensive knowledge exchange will contribute to the development of new research ideas that could lead to ground-breaking discoveries and the advancement of innovative medical solutions.
A key aspect of the conference will also be to establish the international scientific connections, which have the potential to evolve into lasting networks of collaboration. Such international relationships can support securing research funding, developing joint research projects, enhancing publication effectiveness and—critically—implementing developed technologies and solutions in medical practice. In this way, interdisciplinary information exchange will not only support scientific development but will also influence global progress in healthcare and the quality of life for patients.
The conference also aims to disseminate knowledge by:
- providing PhD candidates, students, physicians, and representatives of biomedical technology enterprises—as well as researchers in specific areas of biomedical engineering—with the opportunity to directly engage with the latest scientific research results in all conference-related fields of biomedical engineering;
- familiarizing participants with the greatest challenges and achievements in biomedical engineering across scientific research, education, technology transfer, commercialization and equity in research and innovation (through invited plenary speakers and experts participating in discussion panels);
- preserving the full texts of selected presentations from the event as scientific publications within the Springer book series IFMBE Proceedings and archiving the remaining presentations as abstracts, making these texts available to the international community of biomedical engineers, students and researchers from various specialties either in print or electronic form, who are engaged in or interested in advancements in this interdisciplinary research area. Authors of selected works presented during the event will be invited to prepare and submit manuscripts for publication in the scientific quarterly Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering (Impact Factor = 5.3), owned by the Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering (IBIB PAN) and published by Elsevier.
By creating a space for the exchange of knowledge, ideas and experiences among scientists, physicians, entrepreneurs, PhD candidates and students from various countries and disciplines, the event will also indirectly fulfil culture-building functions, including: sharing intercultural knowledge, exchanging cultural perspectives, globalizing ideas and cultures—including the international promotion of Polish culture—creating an intellectual community that facilitates understanding among different scientific traditions and building a platform for the exchange of viewpoints that shapes scientific ethics.
