9th May, 2025, University Medical Centre, Orthopaedic Clinic, Ljubljana, Slovenia
The International Symposium on Biomaterials series provides a forum for academics, clinicians, researchers, and practicing engineers to meet and exchange innovative ideas and information on all aspects of material-processing technologies. It was initiated in 2016 at the Department for Orthopaedic Surgery, University Medical Centre, Ljubljana and the Institute of Metals and Technology, Ljubljana, with the cooperation of the Dental Department of the Medical Faculty, University of Ljubljana. The Symposiums were held at the Congress Centre of GH Bernardin, Portorož Slovenia in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021 as hybrid scientific events at the Department for Orthopaedic Surgery of University Medical Centre Ljubljana.
The 6th International Symposium on Biomaterials will be organized at University Medical Centre, Orthopaedic Clinic, Zaloška 9, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia
The Medical Chamber of Slovenia endorses 6ISB; attendees will receive Credit points from the Slovenian Medical Chamber ZZS-SMC.
The Programme and Organizing Committee, chaired by A/Prof. Dr. Boštjan Kocjančič (Department for Orthopaedic Surgery, University Medical Center, Ljubljana) invite colleagues to attend and present their research work at the 6th International Symposium on Biomaterials and take this opportunity to report on their research work and ongoing projects at this international gathering of researchers. The life sciences and engineering researchers, clinicians, and company representatives will provide an effective environment for stimulating exchanges and discussions.
Young Students and Young Surgents Sessions will be organized for the first time
Young and not so young surgents will have the oportunity to present their recent work in English to the international Audience. The best presentation will be awarded with the certification and award.
