Dear Colleagues and Friends,

this year the annual conference of the Polish Society for Biomaterials will be held 10-13 October in Rytro.

We are proud that prof. Małgorzata Włodarczyk-Biegun, prof. Sachiro Kakinoki, and prof. Miguel Oliveira will share our passion and knowledge with us as plenary speakers. Their impressive CVs along with presentation titles can be found here.  We also count on your activity and look forward to your exciting research results! Abstracts for oral and poster presentations are welcome. The final submission deadline is July, 15th; please remember to use the template.

We are also accepting submissions of full papers for Engineering of Biomaterials, an official, free-of-charge, open-access journal of the Polish Society for Biomaterials. Please note that they are obligatory for the Best Poster and Rapid Fire competitors. The competition, organized under the auspices of the Young Scientists Forum of the European Society for Biomaterials, is a perfect occasion for early career scientists to practice their presentation skills and get a great reward for their efforts. A certificate accompanied by a money prize is always well remembered.

That will be no news for our regular participants, but for those new attendees, you can be certain that the social program will be as enjoyable as it can be and perfect for networking. Regional music, delicious food, a cozy atmosphere, stunning views, and karaoke fun will definitely be there!

Taking this opportunity, we would like to thank the sponsors of this year's conference: Global Certification Body, Pharmaceutics and Polymers by MDPI, DevGoMed, and Polbionica companies (more info here). Their support is invaluable to us! 

We are thrilled to organize another event for you and with you!
