XXXVI ESAO Congress
27 February 2009 - 23:25 Filed in: Meetings

The University of Technology of Compiègne (UTC) has a special position among the French Universities. Founded in 1973, one of its duties was to link student training, research and industry. More specifically, UTC pioneered the field of biomedical engineering in France, hosting specialists in solid and fluid biomechanics, biomaterials, artificial organs, physiology, medical signals and images, and further areas. The occasion of the present Congress will allow a unique analysis of the “Past and future roles of artificial organs in engineering for health". We will take advantage of the Jubilé for Prof. M.Y. Jaffrin to review the premises and accomplishments of hemodialysis. We will consider the state of the art of research for the most popular artificial organs (kidney, heart, liver), and the promises of new technologies such as regenerative medicine, micro and nanotechnologies, multiscale and integrated approaches. Our aim is to bring together and to foster exchange and collaboration among scientists, clinicians and industrial partners. Located very close to Paris (70 km away), to international Roissy/Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Beauvais airports (both 40 minutes away), Compiègne is very easy to reach. In the valley of the river "Oise", it is a tourist and resort centre with castles, museums and the Armistice Clearing. The castle was the autumn residence of Emperor Napoleon III. Even before today’s castle was constructed, Compiègne was the preferred summer residence for the monarchs of France, primarily for hunting given its proximity to the nearby forest. We look forward to welcoming you in Compiègne for the 2009 edition of the ESAO annual meeting.

XXXVII ESAO Congress in Skopje
31 March 2010 - 23:07 Filed in: Meetings

Skopje is the capital of Macedonia and the centre of the political, cultural and social life. It is a modern, urban city with a history dating more than 2000 years back. Skopje, once called Skupi, over the history was conquered and ruined several times, but always rebuilt again. It has suffered several natural catastrophes, the last being the earthquake in 1963. Some of the monuments from long ago have still remained: the remainings from the old city, the roman architecture, the fortress, the stone bridge, many churches and monasteries, frescoes and carvings from the middle ages, mosques and amams built by the ottomans in the old bazaar. Old Skopje with its very rich treasures is a very attractive tourist destination. It is very well connected by air and land with the rest of the world.
The Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, as the venue of the ESAO Congress in 2010, will provide the atmosphere for a perfect scientific event. You will enjoy “state of the art” presentations and lectures in some of the most attractive fields of medicine. The ESAO Congress 2010 will bring together distinguished clinicians and scientists of biotechnologies and bioengineering from all over the world. They will discuss results from scientific research in all areas of artificial organs. Our aim is to bring together and to foster exchange and collaboration among scientists, clinicians and industrial partners.
Aleksandar Sikole, the Congress President 2010, cordially welcomes you to Skopje to the ESAO 2010 Annual Congress.
