Welcome to the ConferenceBIOMMEDD 2012 Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the 5th International Conference “Biomaterials, Tissue

Engineering & Medical Devices” BiomMedD’2012, on 29thAugust – 1stSeptember, 2012.

The conference will be hosted by the University Ovidius from Constanta. One of the biggest city from

Romania, Constanta is built upon the ancient ruins of the Greek strong hold Tomis, and is a pole of

cultural and economic exchanges in the Black Sea Region and South-Eastern Europe

The aim of this event is to bring together scientists from both basic and applied biomedical research. A

significant attendance is expected from the other biomaterials and medical societies. Several Romanian

societies from the medical field will endorse this conference.

In the Conference frame will take place some round table discussions regarding the participation of our

institutions to The Framework Programme 7, the main instrument for research and development in

Europe. A Technical Exhibition will run in addition with the Conference and will attract widespread

interest from participants and exhibitors. The conference will also host a Young Scientists Forum section

and the 11th General Assembly of the Romanian Society for Biomaterials. Active participation from

academy, industry and clinical centres with different specialities is encouraged.

Yours sincerely,

Iulian Antoniac

BIOMMEDD’2012 Conference Chairman

President of the Romanian Society for Biomaterials

General Assembly of Romanian Society of BiomaterialsFriday 31th August 2012, 19.00-20.00The members of Romanian Society for Biomaterials are invited to participate at the Annual General Assembly.Agenda:

Activity Report presented by the President; Election of the Executive Committee (2 year term); Future meetings [ESB 2013]; Varia.

Young Scientist ForumThe YSF is an event, usually integrated in the conference BIOMMEDD that is aimed at discussing biomaterials education and training in Europe, emphasising the existing and emerging career, as well as research opportunities in the field. In these events discussion is fostered by creating an interactive environment amongst participants, thus promoting an enriching discussion on topics that concern everyone who graduated, or will do so, in Biomaterials.Preliminary program:

- Lectures by high level experts and young scientists; - Round table: interactive public discussions between young scientist (previous selected)

and some representative from education, research & industry field.- Plenary discussions (open to all participants).

Preliminary list of speakers: Izabela Stancu (Romania); Peter Dubruel (Belgium); Ilaria Calciotti (Italy); Nicholas Dune (Northern Ireland); Roman Tzarik (Germany).
