Live & Virtual 4th international symposium on biomaterials 2020

SCOPE 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 participation of the Stomatological Department, Orthopaedic Surgery Department of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana. The Symposia were held at the Congress Centre of GH Bernardin, Portorož Slovenia in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

The global Covid-19 pandemic has considerably impacted on the organisation of the symposium. It was decided that in 2020 the 4th International Symposium on Biomaterials will be organised live & virtual at the University Medical Centre, Orthopaedic Surgery Department, Ljubljana Slovenia, the Scientific and Organizing Committee, chaired by Prof. Dr. Drago Dolinar (Dept for Orthopaedic Surgery, University Medical Centre, Ljubljana) and Prof. Dr.Monika Jenko (Institute of Metals and Technology, Ljubljana) invite colleagues to attend and present their research work as oral or poster contribution live or most probably virtual at the 4thInternational Symposium on Biomaterials and take this opportunity to report on their research work and on-going projects at this international gathering of researchers from all over the world. The researchers from both the life sciences and engineering, clinicians and company representatives will provide an effective environment for stimulating exchanges and discussions.
