6th International Symposium on Biomaterial

The Programme and Organizing Committee, chaired by Prof. Dr. Drago Dolinar (Department for Orthopaedic Surgery, University Medical Center, Ljubljana) and Prof. Dr. Monika Jenko (Institute of Metals and Technology, Ljubljana and MD-RI Institute for Materials Research in Medicine, Ljubljana) invite colleagues to attend and present their research work at the 6th International Symposium on Biomaterials and take this opportunity to report on their research work and ongoing projects at this international gathering of researchers from all over the world.

The International Symposium on Biomaterials series provides a forum for academics, clinicians, researchers, and practicing engineers to meet and exchange innovative ideas and information on all aspects of material-processing technologies. It was initiated in 2016 at the Department for Orthopaedic Surgery, University Medical Centre, Ljubljana, and the Institute of Metals and Technology, Ljubljana, with the cooperation of the Dental Department of the Medical Faculty, University of Ljubljana. The Symposiums were held at the Congress Centre of GH Bernardin, Portorož Slovenia in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021 as hybrid scientific events at the Department for Orthopaedic Surgery of University Medical Centre Ljubljana.

The 6th International Symposium on Biomaterials will be organized again on the Slovenian coast at Portorož in the frame of the 29th International Conference on Materials and Technology.
The Medical Chamber of Slovenia endorses 6ISB; attendees will receive Credit points from ZZS.
