Scandinavian Society for Biomaterials
The Scandinavian Society for Biomaterials (ScSB) was founded in May 2008. The main activities are devoted to get an organization running for a yearly biomaterials meeting in Scandinavia and thereby promote cross-fertilization of biomaterials research in Scandinavia. In addition to the academic researchers, the society sees industry and students as very important members of the society.ScSB is a non-profit organization and its objectives are:
- To encourage progress in the field of Biomaterials in all aspects, including research, teaching, and clinical applications;
- To promote the propagation of scientific information in the field of Biomaterials;
- To promote the interaction between the different disciplines of the field of Biomaterials as well as between basic research and applied practice;
- To co-operate with other scientific organizations, governmental and private
- To develop structured activities on issues involving Biomaterials;
- To stimulate the creation of research programs on Biomaterials mainly on fenno-scandinavian level, and secondly on international level.
To reach these goals, the following activities are promoted:
- The organization of an Annual Meeting at which members of the Society are encouraged to report on their research and development work;
- The organization and management of congresses, workshops, and advanced courses on special themes that have been suggested by the members;
- The promotion of young Biomaterials scientists active in Scandinavia at national and international levels;
- The setup of "ad hoc commissions" to address urgent problems in the area of Biomaterials;
- Information of the members about Biomaterials research and its application in Scandinavia and abroad.
