The 2007 Annual Meeting of SSBE that was held at CSEM in Neuchâtel on September 13 and 14. The program included 13 invited speakers, over 70 poster submissions and over 120 registered participants. The series of invited lectures focused specifically on four themes including Biomedical Signal and Image Processing, Biological Engineering, Medical Devices and Monitoring, and Nanotechnology and Life Sciences. Detailed information on the meeting including the program and proceedings is also available at the conference web page.

The SSBE held its 2008 Annual Meeting at the FHNW in Muttenz – for the first time at a University of Applied Sciences. The aim of the meeting was to bring together scientists involved in basic and applied biomedical engineering research and education, with professionals and industry representatives in the domain of medical technology. In total 80 members participated in the meeting in early September 2008. 55 contributions were accepted and presented as poster in our poster exhibition. Over two days 11 invited speakers from different disciplines presented in high quality their research to a broad audience.

The 2009 Annual Meeting of the SSBE was held in Bern on August 27th and 28th, 2009. The meeting brought together academic and corporate researchers throughout Switzerland from diverse fields of biomedical engineering.
The meeting followed our long-standing and successful format which combines invited lectures by industry and research leaders with presentations of new research results from our Society's younger members. The meeting provided an overview of the current state of Biomedical Engineering in Switzerland and offered an environment for a productive exchange between participants.
We would like to thank all participants again for contributing to a very successful meeting. Details are available at the conference website.

Following on the successful meeting in Zürich in 2006, the Biomedical Engineering Societies of Austria, Germany and Switzerland came together again for BMT2010, a joint meeting hosted by the University of Rostock, on October 5 - 8, 2010. The Drei-Länder-Tagung attracted over 800 participants and featured more than 400 podium presentations and 200 posters. The meeting provided a broad overview of the field of Biomedical Engineering in D-A-CH. As before, the Drei-Länder-Tagung incorporated the Annual Meeting of our society. The next Drei-Länder-Tagung is scheduled for 2013 in Graz, Austria.

Further details of the conference can be found on the conference website.

The 2011 Annual Meeting of the SSBE returned to Bern on August 22nd - 23rd, 2011. The meeting brought together academic and corporate researchers throughout Switzerland from diverse fields of Biomedical Engineering.

The goal of the meeting was to provide an overview of the current state of Biomedical Engineering in Switzerland and to offer an environment for a productive exchange between participants.The meeting followed our long-standing and successful format, which combines invited lectures by industry and research leaders with presentations of new research results from our Society's younger members. For 2011, the SSBE Annual Meeting joined with the CTI Medtech Event at the Kultur Casino Bern. This offered a unique blend of the traditional focus on member activities of the SSBE meeting, on August 22, and the CTI efforts in innovation promotion during the Medtech event, on August 23. With over 100 participants and 65 scientific posters, the meeting was a great success. Participants enjoyed a joint CTI-SSBE Apéro on August 22, followed by our Society's dinner in the Schwellenmätteli on the banks of the Aare River. We look forward to seeing everyone again in 2012.
