7th Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics (SJB2027)

We are pleased to announce that the 7th Switzerland-Japan Workshop on Biomechanics (SJB2027) will be held onsite from 14 to 17 September, 2027 in Stoos, Switzerland.

This workshop takes place every four years, alternating between Japan and Switzerland, offering excellent opportunities for biomechanics researchers and students from both countries to share their cutting-edge research and foster mutual friendships.

SJB2027 will cover a broad range of topics in biomechanics ranging from basic research to clinical applications. We anticipate an exciting program with oral and poster presentations, an excursion, and opportunities to (re-)connect with colleagues and friends.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Stoos !
