United States Representation to IFMBE

9526255国际医学和生物工程联合会（IFMBE）的宗旨是鼓励研究和知识的应用，传播信息，促进医学和生物工程界的工程师，科学家和教育工作者之间的合作。IFMBE行政理事会每年举行两次会议，监督IFMBE的管理，制定项目，如组织和细胞工程的新杂志，生物医学工程词典和专业国际技术会议的规划。该项目提供美国派代表参加地中海生物多样性国际联合会行政理事会的部分支助，以便在三年期间出席其半年一次的会议：1995年（以色列）、1996年（芬兰和荷兰）和1997年（香港和尼斯）。美国在生物医学工程联合会行政理事会的代表由美国医学和生物工程研究所主持。该项目的主要研究员Dov Jaron博士是AIMBE董事会成员，代表美国参加理事会。美国派代表参加理事会，使其有机会在许多国家的生物医学工程研究人员之间发展新的交流渠道和合作项目，从而扩大其在医疗技术研究和发展方面的领导作用。在降低成本和具有成本效益的医疗保健技术的较新研究领域，情况尤其如此。关于理事会审议情况的资料将由本协会通过各种技术出版物、专门讲习班和研讨会的特别文章以及互联网上的电子方式向广大读者传播。***

9526255 Jaron The International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE) has the aims of encouraging research and the application of knowledge, the dissemination of information, and the promotion of collaboration between engineers, scientists and educators within the medical and biological engineering community. The IFMBE Administrative Council meets twice each year to oversee the management of the IFMBE, to develop projects such as a new journal in Tissue and Cellular Engineering, a dictionary of Biomedical Engineering and the planning of specialized international technical conferences. This project provides partial support of the United States representation to the Administrative Council of the IFMBE to attend its semi-annual meetings over a period of three years: 1995 (Israel), 1996 (Finland and Holland), and 1997 (Hong Kong and Nice). United States representation to the Administrative Council of the IFMBE is under the aegis of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). The principal investigator for the project, Dr. Dov Jaron, a member of the Board of Directors of AIMBE, represents the U.S. on the Council. Representation on the Council provides the United States with the opportunity to develop new lines of communications and collaborative projects among biomedical engineering researchers from many countries and thereby to extend its leadership role in medical technology research and development. This is particularly so in the newer areas of investigation in cost-reducing and cost-effective health care technologies. Information about Council deliberations is to be disseminated by AIMBE to a wide audience through special articles in various technical publications, specialized workshops and seminars, and electronically on the Internet. ***
