The European Society of Biomechanics

The 17th Congress of the ESB in 2010 will take place in Edinburgh Scotland, UK.

The 2010 meeting will cover the ESB’s traditional core topics while including emerging research areas in which much new and exciting biomechanics research is taking place.
A pre-course will draw on the experience of experts in their field to provide state of the art knowledge in an area general biomechanics interest.
Plenary sessions are planned to address current “hot topics” in biomechanics research, and to provide valuable insight into the ever-increasing importance of collaborative research, interdisciplinary programs, EU funding opportunities and biomechanical education programmes.

The ESB-2009 Workshop will be held on 7-9 June 2009 in Zurich, Switzerland, on the theme of Movement Biomechanics and Sport.

Deadline for early registration is 15 April 2009 (extended date)!

The workshop focuses on the influence of movement and sport on soft tissues, especially on muscles, ligaments and tendons. From a biomechanical point of view, the workshop will feature investigations reporting results from experiments, theoretical modelling, simulation, and new measurement techniques.
