The program of the Symposium will consist of invited lectures and paper presentations covering the latest research and development results, as well as new trends in medical technology.

Papers are invited to be submitted in all Biomedical Engineering areas including:

-         Biomedical Instrumentation & Measurement

-         Biomedical Signal Processing

-         BME Education

-         Biomechanics and Biomaterials

-         Clinical Engineering

-         Computer Simulation

-         Health Care Technology Assessment

-         Health Care Telematics

-         Medical Imaging

The Symposium aims to provide the right environment for exchange of ideas and experience between the members of the Biomedical Engineering community in Europe. Participation of our alumni from the European Postgraduate Course on Biomedical Engineering, organized at the University of Patras since 1990, in collaboration with 25 other European Universities, is expected to be high again.

The Symposium will be combined with the 3^rd Summer School on Emerging Technologies in Biomedicine, organized at the same place from the 2^nd to 7^th July 2006, providing  a unique occasion for young engineers and scientists to be informed on the latest developments in biomedical technology.
