The European Society of Biomechanics

17th Congress of the ESB

The 17th Congress of the ESB in 2010 was held in Edinburgh Scotland, UK. 5-8 July.

The 2010 meeting covered all the ESB’s traditional core topics, and also included emerging research areas in which much new and exciting biomechanics research is taking place.
A pre-course was part of the programme offering advise and experience by various experts in certain areas of biomechanics applications: Innovative methods for the generation and validation of musculoskeletal models / Arterial Mechanics / Medical Image analysis / Muscle Mechanics.
Various plenary sessions addressed current “hot topics” in biomechanics research, and provided valuable insight into the ever-increasing importance of collaborative research, interdisciplinary programs, EU funding opportunities and biomechanical education programmes.
