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.

 

Full text of papers accepted for the conference will be published by Springer in the "IFMBE Proceedings Series"

 

PURPOSES 

1.

To give Vietnamese educators, students, researchers, administrators and policy makers the opportunity to learn about the related works and models in the U.S. and elsewhere, and to present their accomplishments
