Based on the huge success of the first two Euro BioMAT Symposia in
Jena in 2011 and in Weimar in 2013, this international conference will
be held now every two years in the Jena-Weimar Region.
The symposium Euro BioMAT 2015 addresses the growing interest of
science and industry in the different aspects of the creation, characterization, testing and application of biomaterials and closely related
areas. The motivation is not only the recent scientific progress and
new challenges of this exciting, strongly interdisciplinary field of science
and engineering.
Materials scientists, physicists, chemists, biologists in industrial R&D as
well as medical professionals are increasingly facing situations, where
materials are confronted with high performance requirements and a
challenging biological environment at the same time.
Much of the growth in the area of biomaterials emerged in the USA
and Asia over the last years but Europe is gaining ground with a fast
and steady growth in this field. The German Materials Society and
its panel of experts in biomaterials address these developments with
the Euro BioMat 2015 in Weimar. Euro BioMat 2015 will present and
discuss the current state of progress in development, characterization,
application, testing and modelling of biomaterials in basic science
and industry. In addition, this symposium will bring together experts
in closely related areas, such as biomimetics, biomineralization and
biopolymers.
The organizers at DGM feel a need to serve the European biomaterials
community beyond the other European and world biomaterials congresses with a compact two-day meeting which brings together fascinating science and stimulating people in a delightful setting in historic
Weimar in the very heart of Europe. The organizers look forward to
receiving many contributions to the Euro BioMAT 2015.
