Home - International Society of Biomechanics

ISB2021 in Stockholm will be taking place. Hopefully as a complete, physical meeting at which the whole international biomechanics community can finally meet, socialise, share science and create networks again. However, due to the present situation and uncertainty over its development the organising committee is planning on different scenarios. Perhaps most likely is a physical conference but with a lower attendance than would otherwise be expected. In the worst case the conference may need to be completely digital. We have plans for all scenarios and intend to have various levels of streaming regardless of which scenario eventuates.

ISB2021 in Stockholm will in any case be an international meeting with high scientific quality. We are not cancelling or postponing the congress.

Council Meeting 2020 via Zoom

Dear All,

Given that our conferences have all gone virtual, the ISB Council Meeting, held on July 21st, has also gone virtual! Given the global distribution of our extended council family, this presented some new challenges with regard to arranging an appropriate time to host the meeting :) A few early mornings and late nights for the council members...all resolved with an intravenous shot of coffee and stimulating discussion to keep our society moving forward!

Special thanks to Melissa Boswell's cat for making some good contributions to the discussion (seen below typing in some comments on zoom chat). You will also note that some of the council members took some extreme measures to take the call in an exotic location (Andy, I did not realise Brisbane had so much snow in winter time?).

Stay tuned for some more updates from the council meeting...

ISB2021 Abstract Submissions Open!

After all of the conferences being postponed or cancelled in 2020, it is with pleasure that we can announce the abstract submission is now open for the ISB2021 Conference in Stockholm. Abstract submissions will be open until January 31 2021. So get cracking on those interesting research questions and drum up some abstracts!

Hope to see you all in person in 2021 :)

ISB Exec Committee.
