It is with great pleasure that I can announce the 8th Dutch Conference for Biomedical Engineering (http://www.bme2021.nl) in hotel Zuiderduin (Egmond aan Zee).

This conference provides you the one and only opportunity to meet with a wide diversity of other scientists in the Netherlands working in the field. As a networking conference, you are invited to present your latest work (might already been presented before at another conference), as to give an overview of the developments in the Dutch Biomedical community. The goal of the conference is to meet each other and to discuss new (funding) opportunities within the Netherlands to initiate new research. PhD students are especially encouraged to submit their work, or even their plans. For them it is an opportunity to start building their own network with peer PhD students at other universities.

We will organize sessions covering the broad field of biomedical engineering, e.g. in cardiovascular modelling, image acquisition and processing, surgical instruments, tissue and cell engineering, neural modelling, diagnostics and stimulation, nano-biology, data processing and visualization, etc. (http://www.bme2021.nl/content/topics).

The field of Biomedical Engineering is a rapidly developing field, with many breakthroughs at the edge between medical and technical sciences. Therefore, medical scientist as well as engineering scientists are explicitly invited to this conference to discuss their latest insights and discoveries. Scientists from University Medical Centers as well as from the Technical universities will participate.

Please upload your abstract before November 2, 2020. All information can be found at: http://www.bme2021.nl/content/abstracts

I hope to meet you all at the 8th Dutch BME conference !

On behalf of the organization committee,
