Conference: IEEE EMBC2011: Integrating Technology and Medicine for a Healthier Tomorrow, Boston MA, August 30 - September 3, 2011

1105727，Bonato该项目将支持学生旅行，初级研究人员旅行，学生活动和学生论文比赛，第33届医学和生物学工程学会（EMBS）国际年会将于8月30日至9月3日在美国马萨诸塞州波士顿的科普利万豪酒店举行，2011年，IEEE医学和生物学工程学会（EMBS）的使命是推动工程科学和技术在医学和生物学中的应用，促进专业发展，并通过传播知识，制定标准，促进专业发展，并承认卓越。为了支持其使命，IEEE的EMBS在过去的30年里一直在组织医学和生物学会工程年会。每年，这个年度会议是世界上最大的生物医学工程师会议，吸引了2000-3000人，其中包括约800名学生，发表来自世界各地的2000多篇论文。2011年，EMBC将于2011年8月30日至9月3日在美国马萨诸塞州波士顿的Copley Marriott酒店举行。预计将有来自世界各地的2500多名科学家、工程师和学生参加这次会议。预计约有200篇论文将提交给学生论文比赛。通过使用在线评审系统，将从这些候选人中选出15名决赛选手，在会议期间进行最后的口头陈述。拟议的资金将帮助美国的学生决赛选手前往介绍他们的研究论文在学生论文比赛。EMBC学生竞赛是会议的重要组成部分，为顶尖学生提供了一个论坛，让他们能够在11个生物工程学科中与其他最优秀的学生竞争。学生参与者能够查看他们的研究，以及他们的研究报告，从更广泛的角度。如果没有这项比赛的激励，许多学生将无法或不太可能参加会议，从而错过了在这些会议上介绍知识世界。此外，该竞赛在承认妇女和少数民族在生物工程领域的才能方面发挥着至关重要的作用。该竞赛不仅促进了生物工程学科的教育，而且通过为学生提供与世界领先的生物医学专业人员和科学家见面和建立网络的独特机会，培养了下一代生物工程师。

1105727, BonatoThis project will support the student travel, junior researcher travel, student activities and the Student Paper Competition at the 33rd Annual International Conference of the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) that will be held at the Copley Marriott Hotel in Boston MA, USA from August 30 through September 3, 2011.The mission of the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) of the IEEE is to advance the application of engineering sciences and technology to medicine and biology, promote the profession, and provide global leadership for the benefit of its members and humanity by disseminating knowledge, setting standards, fostering professional development, and recognizing excellence. To support its mission, EMBS of the IEEE has been organizing annual conferences of the engineering in medicine and biology society for past 30 years. Each year, this annual conference which is the largest meeting of biomedical engineers in the world attracts 2000-3000 people including about 800 students presenting more than 2000 papers from all over the world. The student activities include a widely publicized and well-respected Student Paper Competition and meetings with pioneers and leaders in biomedical engineering, special symposiums and mentoring programs.In 2011, EMBC will be held at the Copley Marriott Hotel in Boston MA, USA from August 30 through September 3, 2011. It is expected that more than 2500 scientists, engineers and students will be attending this conference from all over the world. About 200 papers are expected to be submitted to the Student Paper Competition. From those, fifteen finalists will be selected through the use of an on-line review and judging system for making the final oral presentations during the conference. The proposed funding will help US-based student finalists to travel to present their research paper in the Student Paper Competition. It will also provide the prizes for the winners of the Competition.The EMBC Student Competition is indeed a critical portion of the conference, provides a forum where top-notch students are able to compete with other superlative students in a wide array of eleven bioengineering disciplines. Student participants are able to view their research, and their presentation of that research, from a much broader perspective. Without the incentive of this Competition, many students would be unable or less likely to attend the conference, thus missing an introduction to the world of knowledge available at such conferences. In addition, the Competition plays a crucial role in recognizing the talents of women and minorities in the field of bioengineering.This Competition promotes not only education within bioengineering disciplines, but fosters the next generation of bioengineers by providing a unique opportunity to students to meet and network with the leading biomedical professionals and scientists in the world.
