2nd European Conference on Biomedical and Veterinary Engineering
"Engineering for all of us - how engineering may enhance the well-being of both humans and animals!"
WELCOME SPEECH
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are delighted to announce the 3rd European Congress on Biomedical and Veterinary Engineering (BioMedVetMech), which will take place on October 24 and 25, 2026, in Zagreb, Croatia, under the auspices of the Croatian Society for Orthopedic Engineering (ORTHOING).
The congress theme, “Engineering for All: How Engineering Enhances the Well-Being of Humans and Animals,” reflects our commitment to advancing technologies and solutions that improve health and quality of life across species. This transdisciplinary congress will address a broad spectrum of scientific topics in biomedical and veterinary engineering, including the development of medical and veterinary technologies, instruments and devices; cutting-edge treatment techniques; advanced and targeted healthcare solutions; knowledge transfer and the future of biomedical engineering; product development and innovation; clinical research and entrepreneurship; funding opportunities; and state-of-the-art research in these fields.
A distinctive feature of BioMedVetMech 2026 is its advanced and interactive program, which will include group work with specialized experts, exhibitions by suppliers and manufacturers, as well as workshops and training sessions designed to enhance the skills and competencies of participants. An industrial corner will further foster collaboration between industry professionals and scientists, supporting the development and funding of innovative products and services for the benefit of both humans and animals.
As in previous editions, the Congress will be hosted in Zagreb, the vibrant capital of Croatia. Situated at the crossroads of Eastern and Western Europe, Zagreb offers a unique blend of cultural, historical, and Mediterranean influences. The city is known for its rich gastronomic scene, lively artistic and cultural life, and welcoming, safe environment for visitors from around the world.
We are particularly proud of the success of BioMedVetMech 2022, which achieved its goals by bringing together experts from diverse professional backgrounds. Special recognition goes to the BioMedVetMech Proceedings: “Advances in Biomedical and Veterinary Engineering,” published by Springer, which stands as a lasting contribution to the field.
On behalf of the entire Organizing Committee, we warmly invite you to join us at BioMedVetMech 2026. We firmly believe that this congress will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, skill development, international collaboration, and the formation of lasting professional relationships and friendships.
We look forward to welcoming you to Zagreb in October 2026.
Sincerely yours,
