BIOMED 2003 provides an internationally recognised forum for disseminating the latest bioengineering research and its applications. The conference topics will cover a broad spectrum including the application of computers to simulate biomedical phenomena. The conference will be held at the University Medical Centre, the most important medical institution in Slovenia and one of the leading modern medical hospitals in Central Europe. The meeting aims to bring together medical, physical scientists and engineers who are interested in the latest developments on simulations in medicine. It will also be relevant to professionals working in medical enterprises, which are actively involved in this field.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Papers are invited on the topics outlined opposite and others falling within the scope of the meeting. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted as soon as possible. Abstracts should clearly state the purpose, results and conclusions of the work to be described in the final paper. Final acceptance will be based on the full-length paper, which if accepted, must be presented at the conference. Each submitted paper is subject to a separate registration. We strongly encourage the submission of abstracts electronically. The language of the conference will be English.
