The major International Conference of the Federation is now titled the World Congress.
Meetings of the Federation are combined with those of the Organization for medical Physics (IOMP) and co-ordinated by the Conference Co-ordinating Committee of the International Union for Physics and Engineering Sciences in Medicine (IUPESM).
The Congresses are scheduled on a three-year basis and aligned with Federation’s General Assembly meeting at which elections are held.
Applications to host the World Congress must be submitted jointly by the local IFMBE and IOMP affiliates, indicating their mutual commitment in the planning, preparation and financial management of the World Congress.
The Biomedical Engineering Society (Singapore) and the Society of Medical Physicists (Singapore) are proud to be co-organising the IUPESM World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering 2022 (IUPESM WC2022).
IUPESM WC2022 is the world’s leading forum for presenting the scientific results and major innovations in health-related technologies to the global medical physics and biomedical engineering fraternity.
This event will be held for the first time in Southeast Asia from 12 – 17 June 2022 at the Sands Expo® and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands.
Mark your calendars for one of the largest gatherings of medical physicists and biomedical engineers in the world. For more information, please visit www.wc2022.org.
The World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering 2025 (WC2025) will be held in Adelaide, Australia.
