May 26th-31st 2012 will be the next World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering. Apart from being an important scientific gathering there will be a General Assembly (GA) of the delegates from all member societies of the IFMBE to discuss maters and take decisions for the next three years. Our society can have three voting delegates in that GA. One of the VvB-BMT board members will be there (

). Any other member that plans to be there and is able to go to the GA is invited to

, so we can have all three votes at the meetings.
One of the things that will be proposed at that GA is to change the composition of the Administrative Council (AC). This will among other things mean that also in between our triannual congresses the delegates of the societies will play some role.
Following the "1st EBSA BIOPHYSICS COURSE ON: Membrane Biophysics and Lipid-Protein Interaction" that was held in Bordeaux-Arcachon in 2010, we are launching the second edition for 2012.
The Course is dedicated to PhD students and young scientists and will take place in Lacanau, which is a very nice surf spot in the pine forest near Bordeaux, from June 24th to 29th. You can see the program and details at http://www.cbmn.u-bordeaux.fr/EBSA2012/index.php?tab=1
Would you be kind enough to relay the information towards your national community. Please note that we kept the fees low to allow a large student attendance (300€ covering course and full lodging and meals).
The 2010 edition was a great success, please encourage your PhD Students and young scientists to come to the course.
Sincerely,
Antoinette Killian
EBSA secretary
on behalf of the organizers prof. Erick Dufourc and prof. Manuel Prieto
Meeting at the Euro-parliament on Biomedical Engineering
The agenda for the Expert Policy Workshop, hosted by Dr. Thomas Ulmer, Member of the European Parliament, is being finalized with the full collaboration of EAMBES.

A message from the chairman of the EAMBES, Marco Viceconti:
Dear European Biomedical Engineers and Scientists:
It is now an established tradition that every year at this time the President of the European Alliance for Medical and Biological Engineering & Science (EAMBES) addresses all European biomedical engineers and scientists affiliated to one of the scientific societies or research institutions that are members of EAMBES, with the so-called "State of the Alliance" message, where we try to summarise the activity of EAMBES in the last year...
(full text available at EAMBES)
For those interested in the future of medical and biological engineering it is useful information. In short it gives an overview of the activities this year and how the EAMBES is trying and succeeding in raising the level of awareness about our type of research at the European level.
This is the interactive site for all research on Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering in the Netherlands. It is maintained by the 'Vereniging voor Biofysica en Biomedische Technologie'.
