Welcome to the European Society of Biomechanics (ESBiomech)
European Society of Biomechanics
The European Society of Biomechanics was founded in 1976 in a meeting in Brussels with 20 scientists from 11 countries. It is now the largest Biomechanics society in Europe with over 500 members.
The primary goal of the ESB is to encourage, foster, promote and develop research, progress and information concerning the science of Biomechanics.
Deadline for abstracts: Monday 30 November 2009 Registration opens: January 2010
Notification of acceptance: February 2010
Provisional programme available: Friday 26 February 2010
Early registration closes: Friday 30 April 2010
Registration closes: Friday 18 June 2010
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 took place on 7-9 June 2009 in Zurich, Switzerland, on the topic of Movement Biomechanics and Sport.
The workshop was structured into the following themes:
Introduction to the movement of the human body: Movement and loading during activities and the consequences on the musculoskeletal system, with a focus on soft tissue.
Material response – mechanical effects of loading: The effects of movement and loading on the entire musculoskeletal system, with a focus on soft tissue. What causes health problems, what can be tolerated?
System adaptation – long term effects of loading: Longterm effects of load, adaptation of material (micro), development of injury, interventions and therapies (macro).
