5th International Symposium on Biomaterials - 5 ISB

The Symposium on Biomaterials series provides a forum for academics, clinicians, researchers and practicing engineers to meet and exchange innovative ideas and information on all aspects of material-processing technologies. It was initiated in 2016 at the Department for Orthopaedic Surgery, University Medical Centre, Ljubljana, and the Institute of Metals and Technology, Ljubljana, with the participation of the Stomatological Department of the Medical Faculty, University of Ljubljana. The Symposiums were held at the Congress Centre of GH Bernardin, Portorož Slovenia in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021. The 5^th Symposium on Biomaterials will be organised again at the Slovenian coast at Portorož.

The Programme and Organizing Committee, chaired by Prof. Dr. Drago Dolinar (Department for Orthopaedic Surgery, University Medical Center, Ljubljana) and Prof. Dr. Monika Jenko (Institute of Metals and Technology, Ljubljana) invite colleagues to attend and present their research work at the 5^th International Symposium on Biomaterials and take this opportunity to report on their research work and ongoing projects at this international gathering of researchers from all over the world. The researchers from both the life sciences and engineering, clinicians and company representatives will provide an effective environment for stimulating exchanges and discussions.
