The WBC 2020 Executive Committee is delighted to invite you to participate and share in the 11th Biomaterials Congress on 11-15 December 2020. The congress promises a diverse and interesting programme, an international forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research related to the interactions of biological systems with engineered, synthetic and natural materials. It is an occasion to meet virtually, to listen, to discuss, to share knowledge and bring together inspired biomaterials people. We particularly welcome our early career researchers, and will facilitate interactions with prominent senior investigators in the field as well as scientists from leading biomedical companies. We hope the congress will provide a forum to exchange scientific ideas, inspire new research, and new contacts for closer collaboration, so that we can, together, define the future for our young (and not so young) researchers who are today’s reality and tomorrow’s future. WBC 2020 Virtual will include access to presentations (live and pre-recorded) from world leaders and experts, including industry symposia and ePoster presentations; available on-demand for up to three months after the congress. There will be a parallel virtual exhibition where you can meet industry partners, browse products and set up meetings completing the full congress experience.
