Join us in NYC for this 5-week one-of-a-kind educational opportunity.

Dear Colleagues:

The IUPESM World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering is the triennial event of the IOMP and IFMBE. Previous such IUPESM World Congresses have solidified the unifying concepts of the physical and engineering sciences in medicine. The next two World Congresses in Toronto 2015 and Prague 2018 will strengthen the co-operation within IUPESM.

The symposium aims to empower and encourage young women to consider and choose engineering, science, and technology fields as a career path. Women make up about half of the world’s population, however, their contribution to the fields is much less with the worldwide average of ~14% and Singapore R&D of ~30% (Yearbook of Statistics).

EPWS President Dr. Brigitte Mühlenbruch has been honoured with the Order of Merit 1st Class of the Federal Republic of Germany in acknowledgement of her pioneering work in the promotion of women in science at national as well as European level. She received the Order of Merit by the German Federal President Joachim Gauck himself in Berlin on 6 October 2014 on the occasion of the Day of German Unity.
