The European Alliance for Medical and Biological Engineering & Science

European Alliance for Medical and Biological Engineering & Science

The European Alliance of Medical and Biological Engineering and Science (EAMBES) is a no-profit international organization incorporated according to the Belgian law, that federates most scientific societies and academic and research institutions located in Europe and involved with Biomedical Engineering or as it is more appropriately defined Medical and Biological Engineering and Science. The main objective of EAMBES is to improve the health, wealth, and well being of the citizens of Europe by the application of Medical and Biological Engineering and Science.

EAMBES was founded in 2003 with the presumption that in an area as wide and fragmented as the Medical and Biological Engineering and Science (MBES), working together and speaking with one voice would have been a great benefit, also due to the considerable fragmentation:

MBES experts are active in research, education, and healthcare
there are several national and transnational research societies targeting MBES as a whole or sub-domains of MBES (such as artificial organs, biomaterials, biomechanics)
MBES professionals are key figures in the European medical technology industry, made of a few large and very many small companies.
EAMBES was born from the need to represent the MBES community and to offer its guidance in the promotion of the MBES field at the European level.
