ESEM, the European Society for Engineering and Medicine, is organising a
workshop in Brussels, on April 27 and 28, entitled 'Biomedical research and
industrial participation in Europe : trends and future'. The aim is to
provide a forum for scientists and representatives from industry regarding
EC funded research projects in the area of medical technology.
Presentations are held by EC officers and by projects leaders from the
BIOMED programme of the EC.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The workshop is organised in the Université Catholique de Louvain,
Cliniques St Luc, Woluwe St. Lambert (Brussels). It starts on Monday April
27 at 8.30 am and lasts until Tuesday April 28 at 5 pm. Registration fee
is 100 ECU for non-members of ESEM, it is free of charge for ESEM members.
