INVITATION
The theme of this year conference is: “New
frontiers in Biomedical Engineering”. We are inviting you to be
part of this conference to present your latest results and to set a
direction to further the development of biomedical engineering in
Vietnam. You can give a talk, initiate a special interest session
and/or organize a tutorial session on a special topic to improve
knowledge in this field or to help people of different background to
convert into Biomedical Engineering. We solicit all
interdisciplinary works, which links life and health sciences to
engineering and basic sciences, and covers from molecular to upper
levels and from methodology to instrumentation.
The official language is
English.
