Health
- ICT-BIO 2008 Computer modelling and simulation for improving human health Brussels, Belgium 23-24 October, 2008
The objectives of this conference are: to communicate the opportunities and challenges of the Virtual Physiological Human and Integrative System Biology and other topics that lie at the crossroads of ICT, Biology and Medicine; to provide the possibility for discussions on progress beyond the current state of the art and to promote international cooperation and networking; to provide an overview about the current activities in these domains not only in EU but also in US and other countries, and to examine opportunities for closer cooperation between EU and US funding agencies.
- eHealth 2008 "eHealth without frontiers" Portoroz, Slovenia May 6-7, 2008
The conference will focus on borderless eHealth in both its vertical and horizontal aspects that cover a wide range of locations and stakeholders. The “without frontiers” theme highlights among others: the collaborative work being done on good practices in eHealth, the focus on cross-border healthcare provision, ongoing proposals on eHealth interoperability, and the integrating work to be undertaken in the future in the prospective eHealth large-scale pilot and new telemedicine initiatives.
- EUnetHTA Conference 2008: HTA’s Future in Europe Pasteur Institute, Paris, France November 20, 2008
Health technology assessment (HTA) is a multidisciplinary process that summarises information about the medical, social, economic and ethical issues related to the use of a health technology in a systematic, transparent, unbiased, robust manner. Its aim is to inform the formulation of safe, effective, health policies that are patient focused and seek to achieve best value.
Gerontechnology
- ISG '08 International Conference of the International Society for Gerontology Pisa, Italy June 4-7 2008
A forum where all the people involved in activities on gerontechnology (robotics researchers, architects, biomedical engineers, neuroscientists, biologists, experts in political science and economics, and scientists from many other communities) will meet and interact, present results and discuss about future research lines.
- PETRA 08 1st International Conference on Pervasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments Athens, Greece July 15-19 2008
The PETRA Conference brings together different types of technology to address an important social and healthcare issue: as the world's population ages, there is growing interest in solutions for the in- home care of the elderly as well as for the care of people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other disabilities or traumas.
- IET Assisted Living 09Aims of the conference:
-To review recent innovations and developments within Assisted Living as well as related e-health technologies
-To report on the latest research findings
-To bring together researchers, industrialists, policy makers and service providers within the areas of the technical scope
- International Association of Homes and Services for the Ageing - 19th-22nd July, London. The theme of the conference is 'Leadership beyond Borders' and comprises keynote lectures, workshop sessions, a design showcase and poster presentations.
Pervasive and Ubiqutious Computing
Pervasive healthcare may be defined from two perspectives. First, it is the development and application of pervasive computing (or ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence) technologies for healthcare, health and wellness management. Second, it seeks to make healthcare available to anyone, anytime, and anywhere by removing locational, time and other restraints while increasing both the coverage and quality of healthcare.
- ICPS'08 : International Conference on Pervasive Services Sorrento, Italy July 6-10 2008
The 2008 International Conference on Pervasive Services (ICPS'2008), to be held in Sorrento, Italy, provides a forum for researchers, engineers, application & service developers and users to present their latest advances in the field of pervasive services. Use cases and usage models for these pervasive services are of particular interest to the conference.
- BSN 2009 6th International Workshop on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks. Berkeley, CA, USA. date: June 3 - 5, 2009.
BSN 2009 is the sixth workshop following the successful BSN workshops held at Imperial College in London UK (2004, 2005), MIT in Boston USA (2006), RWTH Aachen University in Aachen Germany (2007), and Chinese University in Hong Kong China (2008).

- Virtual Environments, Human-computer Interfaces and Measurement Systems Hong Kong, China, May 11-13
VECIMS 2009 is an interdisciplinary symposium that intends to bring a methodical instrumentation and measurement perspective to the theory and practice of virtual and virtualized environments, and human-computer interfaces by focusing on the quantitative and metrological aspect of these technologies and their interactive applications in telerobotics, telemedicine, remote control, engineering design, environment sensing and monitoring, training, education, arts, and computer games.
- International Cross-Disciplinary Conference on Web Accessibility Madrid 2009, 20-21 April 2009
An ageing but Web literate population indicates a large market for online shopping and services especially when mobility is a problem for the shopper. In this case we wonder how this new population will interact with Web based resources, and what new problems in accessibility will there be to overcome?
Biotechnology and Biomedicine
Research and development in biotechnology requires the collaboration of scientists and engineers in the fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, chemical engineering, and electrical engineering. This symposium brings together scientists, engineers and scholars from relevant fields with practitioners from industry in order to help each group to understand progress made in the area as a whole.
