Travel grants

 

PhD students and postdoc researchers can apply for a travel grant. The grant, typically €500, is to be used for visiting research labs abroad. The conditions to receive a travel grant are:

 

  • membership of BioPM
  • the lab visit is for at least 5 days

 

The application letter should include a motivation and a recommendation by a supervisor. The application should be mailed to our secretary: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The board of BioPM will decide typically within 2 weeks.

 

The society would appreciate if the applicant writes a short report of the lab visit to be shared with members on the BioPM website, and acknowledge the BioPM in reports related to the lab visit.

BIOPM joins DutchBiophysics meeting 2015

Monday 28 September 2015, De Koningshof, Veldhoven.

The board of the Society for Biophyiscs and Biomedical Technology (BIOPM) has decided to join DutchBiophysics, the very successful annual meeting on molecular and cellular biophysics, microscopy and, new from this year, biomedical engineering. The meeting consists of plenary sessions, with invited presentations by (inter)national speakers, and specialized, parallel oral and poster sessions. The total meeting will last for two days, Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 September. Two dedicated biomedical engineering sessions will take place on Monday.

At this meeting, BIOPM will award the biannual PhD thesis prize and poster prizes. For BIOPM and its members DutchBiophysics will replace the Day of Biophysics and Biomedical Technology.

In April, further details about the program and a call for abstracts will be announced and the registration site will open. Further information will appear on this site.

Access to IFMBE Springer journals

After a long break finally some news again from our society. It is not that nothing happened, just that circumstances prevented updating the website.

One major thing to mention is that we now can access the IFMBE journals that are published by Springer via this website. See the Links/Journal Links menu for instructions
