- Dear Biomch-L readers,
-
- Today I received a first official announcement from the Second World Congress
- of Biomechanics office. I think that the following information will be
- interesting for most of our subscribers.

-
- First Announcement
-
- SECOND WORLD CONGRESS OF BIOMECHANICS
-
- in conjunction with
-
- 9th Meeting of the European Society of Biomechanics
- &
- 8th International Conference on Mechanics in Medicine and Biology
-
- July 10-15, 1994
- Amsterdam, the Netherlands
-
- Following the First Congress of Biomechanics in San Diego, 1990, the Second
- World congress will be held in Amsterdam, July 1994. As the first one,
- this Congress was initiated by the World Committee for Biomechanics and
- monitored by an International Steering Committee, consisting of experts
- from all biomechanics related fields and from all parts of the world.
- The Congress is patronized or sponsored by the American (ASB), European (ESB)
- and International (ISB) Societies of Biomechanics, the Society for
- Biomaterials, the International Committee on Mechanics in Medicine and
- Biology (ICMMB), the International Society of Biorheology, the Cardiovascular
- System Dynamics Society, the US National Committee of Biomechanics and
- others. The 9th Meeting of the European Society of Biomechanics and the 8th
- International Conference on Mechanics in Medicine and Biology are merged
- with this Second World Congress of Biomechanics.
-
- The congress will include plenary lectures, society-sponsored symposia,
- tutorials, free papers and posters in a five-day program.
- The satellite meetings, pre and post congresses are planned by some of the
- sponsoring societies.
-
