Awards Committee
Chair: José Manuel García Aznar
The mission of the ESB is to promote excellence in biomechanics research, to foster integration of clinical and basic science, and to facilitate the translation of that science to health care and clinical practice. One way in which ESB supports its mission and promotes excellence is by recognition of outstanding members with prestigious awards given at the biennial ESB Congress. For detailed information on submissions and nominations, please refer to the Awards Regulations or contact the Awards Committee Chairman.

Membership Committee
Chair: Dominique Pioletti
The main purpose of this committee is to encourage and promote membership in the Society. This will be accomplished considering member needs/opinions and recommending policies, procedures and strategies to improve the membership development in all aspects: more and better benefits, more members, etc.

Student Committee
Chair: William Taylor
This committee aims to provide valuable services to ESB Students and Young Scientists Members via the web site of the ESB through the establishment of an ESB Student Network made of local contact points in various European countries. The student members contributing to this committee are: Alessandra Carriero (London), Ali Sharifnezhad (Berlin), Arzu Tasci (Switzerland), Silke Wüst (Switzerland).

Publication Committee
Chair: Gwendolen Reilly
Informing the ESB members on the activities and initiatives, related to the ESB and its Council is crucial for the viability of the Society. The flow of information should however be 'bidirectional', and therefore members should feel free to express their ideas, suggestions, etc.. The Publication Committee takes care and promotes this information flow, in the first place by preparing the ESB Newsletter (twice a year). Members will also be updated on ESB-related activities through the website and by means of e-mail. News to be published in the Newsletter and/or on the website can be submitted to the Publication committee at news@esbiomech.org by any ESB member. Finally, the ESB has also arranged reduced subscription rates for a number of journals.

Society and Chapter Liaison Committee
Chair: Anita Ignatius
This committee mainly deals with the organization of the liaison activities. It arranges affiliations of other societies with the ESB and serves as contact address to any biomechanics group that is interested to get in touch with the ESB.

EAMBES Committee
Chair: Stephen Ferguson
The EAMBES Committee provides a liaison to the European Alliance for Medical and Biological Engineering & Science. The EAMBES joins together European scientific societies and higher education institutions, representing over 8'000 bioengineers in various education and lobbying activities. A focus of the EAMBES committee for the coming years is participation in relevant European Innovation Platform activities.
